epsilon

• n. 希腊语字母之第五字

希腊字母e psilon, 即仅发e音，以区分同时期的双元音-ai. 参照upsilon.

epsilon (n.)

from Greek, literally e psilon "bare -e-, -e- and nothing else," so called by late grammarians in contradistinction to the diphthong -ai-, which had come to have the same sound. Greek psilon "smooth, simple" is of uncertain origin (Watkins suggests PIE root *bhes- (1) "to rub").
