词组 | hyphen, hyphenate |
释义 | hyphen, hyphenate Phythian 1979 objects to hyphenate as unnecessarily long since hyphen is already a verb. Hyphenate, however, is the more common of the two: • ... although long-lived is hyphenated —Simon 1980 • Photocomposition is particularly stupid at breaking words and hyphenating them in the wrong places — Howard 1984 Hyphenate is probably reinforced in its preferred position by the noun hyphenation, the noun hyphenate, and the adjective hyphenated. There is also a verb hyphen-ize, which is very seldom used. |
