peperとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Inherited from 古期英語 pipor, piper, from West Germanic, from Latin piper, from Ancient Greek πέπερι (péperi), from Indo-Aryan.

Forms with /ɛ/ probably represent unattested 古期英語 *peopor, while the absence of open-syllable lengthening is due to influence from the 古期英語 inflected forms pipore, pipores and the compounds peper corn, peperquerne, where it would be inhibited by trisyllabic shortening.

発音

• IPA: /ˈpɛpər/, /ˈpipər/

peper (uncountable)

1. pepper (a spice made from the fruit of the plant Piper nigrum)
2. (rare) The plant that produces the fruit required to make pepper; the pepper plant.
