albino
English
editEtymology
editBorrowed from Portuguese albino and Spanish albino.
- Portuguese albino is from Medieval Latin albinus, from Latin albus
- Spanish albino is diminutive of albo, from Latin albus (“white”).
Pronunciation
edit- (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ælˈbiːnəʊ/
- (General American) IPA(key): /ælˈbaɪnoʊ/
- (Ireland) IPA(key): /alˈbiːnoː/
Audio (US): (file)
Adjective
editalbino (not comparable)
- Congenitally lacking melanin pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair or feathers (or more rarely only in the eyes); born with albinism.
Usage notes
edit- The term is considered offensive by some (when used as a term for human beings); "albinistic" is a possible alternative.[1]
- The term is not comparative: one either has albinism (a recessive genetic trait) or does not. While the effects of albinism may be more marked in some individuals, this does not make those individuals "more albino" than others. To the extent that it could be comparable, perhaps in metaphoric usage, the comparatives would be more/most/less/least albino (not *albinoer, *albinest, etc).
Synonyms
edit- (lacking melanin): albinal, albinic, albinistic, albinoid, hypomelanistic, hypomelanoid, amelanistic, amelanoid
Antonyms
edit- (antonym(s) of “having an excess of melanin”): hypermelanistic, hypermelanoid, melanistic, melanoid
