词组 | coed |
释义 | coed Bremner 1980 notes that this word was formerly an acceptable word for a female student at a coeducational institution, but is now in disfavor. Our evidence suggests he may be right; at least we have gathered fewer and fewer citations for its use in recent years. This example tends to corroborate Bremner's view: • At that time it was customary to locate a suitable female spectator (then known as a "coed") —Philip G. Howlett, Sports Illustrated, 31 Aug. 1981 The adjective coed continues to be used, most often in the sense "open to or used by both men and women." |
