Definitions

  1. a word of more than three syllables

Word origin

From poly- + syllable.

Used in a sentence

  • 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.
