[编辑] Webster Collegiate

adjective

  • Etymology: Latin incredulus, from in- + credulus credulous
  • Date: 1579
  • 1. unwilling to admit or accept what is offered as true ; not credulous ; skeptical
  • 2. incredible 1
  • 3. expressing incredulity <an incredulous stare>
  • ? incredulously adverb
  • Usage:
    • Sense 2 was revived in the 20th century after a couple of centuries of disuse. Although it is a sense with good literary precedent—among others Shakespeare used it—many people think it is a result of confusion with incredible, which is still the usual word in this sense.
