Definition of polysyllable
1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included
noun
-
A word with more than two syllables. Sometimes used in a more restricted sense.
“For instance, words can differ in length, and we can rhyme a monosyllable with a polysyllable, like tracks with haversacks.”
“In the Phyengan dialect, wuy developed into wi but at the end of a polysyllable it often dropped the -y to become wu (ibid): Tang-nakwu = Tang-nakwi 'donkey'”
“The third syllable of provided is ed, and therefore the verb is not a polysyllable.”
