apostrophe

意味(日本語)

◇Gk.apo(=あちらへ)+strephein(=向きを変える)

語源

意味(英語)

  • (noun) The superscript sign ( ' ) used to indicate the omission of a letter or letters from a word, the possessive case, or the plurals of numbers, letters, and abbreviations.
  • (noun) The direct address of an absent or imaginary person or of a personified abstraction, especially as a digression in the course of a speech or composition.

例文

  • An apostrophe is missing from “childrens”, and there is a strong case for making “menu” plural, but these lapses are so frequent in signs as to be mundane; it is the appearance of “Al” that makes it irresistible.
