词组 vagary
释义 vagary
      Vagary is rather an odd word, in that the ending -ary, which certainly looks like a suffix, does not go back to Latin -arius (-arium, -aria), as in apothecary, seminary, and hundreds of other words. Rather the word appears to have been born as an unusual use of the Latin infinitive vagari "to wander." The second a is long in the Latin sourceword, and the traditional pronunciation \\\\vǝ-'ger-ē\\\\ accords with this fact. But the usual pronunciation now in America, and the one currently recommended in England, is \\\\vā-gǝ-rē\\\\
