Part of speech: adj
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˌmɑnoʊˈuzi.ən/
ipa: /-ʒən/
ipa: /ˌmɒnəʊˈuːzɪən/
ipa: /-ʒən/
Etymology: From Ancient Greek μονοούσιος (monooúsios, “of one substance”), from μόνος (mónos, “alone, only, sole, single”) + οὐσία (ousía, “being, substance, essence”) + -ian.
Senses: examples: text: But the homoousian Trinity of the orthodox went exactly in the middle, betwixt that monoousian trinity of Sabellius, which was a trinity of different notions or conceptions only of one and the self-same thing, and that other heteroousian trinity of Arius, which was a trinity of separate and heterogenous substances (one of which only was God, and the other creatures); […]
ref: 1678, Ralph Cudworth, The True Intellectual System of the Universe, volume I:
text: The use of the word "monoousian," as above, may mislead; for the orthodox view of the trinity has unquestionably and necessarily a monoousian basis; there is, and can be, but one essence in the godhead.
ref: April 1867, The American Presbyterian and Theological Review, volume 5, number 18, page 339:
text: The trinitarian idea of personality lies midway between that of a mere form of manifestation, or a personation, which would lead to Sabellianism, and the idea of an independent, limited human personality, which would result in tritheism. In other words, it avoids the monoousian or unitarian trinity of a threefold conception and aspect of one and the same being, and the triousian or tritheistic trinity of three distinct and separate beings.

ipa: /ˈt͡ʃɛs ˌpaɪ/
Forms: form: chess pies
Etymology: Uncertain; most likely from cheese pie; early versions were similar in texture to British lemon curd pies or cheesecakes, and earlier "cheesecakes" often lacked cheese, instead resembling modern chess pies or chess cakes.
Other theories include:
* from a Southern pronunciation of (it's) jes' pie, as it contrasts with flavored pies like pecan, cherry, chocolate, etc.
* from chest pie, as the high sugar content means it can be stored in a "pie chest" (pie safe) rather than needing refrigeration.
* from some association with the game of chess.
* from Chester, England.
Senses: glosses: A pie made with eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, and cornmeal.
