[编辑] Webster Collegiate

noun

  • Etymology: Middle French fuellage, from foille leaf — more at foil
  • Date: 1598
  • 1. a representation of leaves, flowers, and branches for architectural ornamentation
  • 2. the aggregate of leaves of one or more plants
  • 3. a cluster of leaves, flowers, and branches
  • ? foliaged adjective
  • Usage:
    • The disyllabic pronunciation \\?fō-lij\\ is very common. Some commentators insist that foliage requires a trisyllabic pronunciation because of its spelling, but words of a similar pattern such as carriage and marriage do not fall under their prescription. The pronunciation \\?fo?i-lij\\ is disapproved because it suggests the transposition of the l and i in the spelling. It is not as common as \\?fō-lij\\ and may be associated with the nonstandard spelling foilage.
