释义 | debacle This word was borrowed from French and is normally stressed in accordance with its pronunciation in that language: \\\\di-'bäk-əl\\\\ or, less often, \\\\di-'bakəl\\\\, along with minor variants of these. Those who say \\\\deb-i-kəl\\\\ have been the target of frowns, but one could argue that they have a point. The word as normally written has already lost both its original diacritics (the French form is débâcle); why should it not, after almost two centuries as part of English, fall in with the stress pattern of such other French-derived words as miracle, manacle, and spectacle? |
