Word: peely Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From peel + -y. Pronunciation: /piːli/ 1. Tending to peel. Example: Rough, “peely” arms, shoulders, legs—See Angel Skin soothe, soften, cool sensitive wind-and-sun irritated skin. Rough flakiness dissolves off. Example: It is paper-thin and when old, peels away to reveal the richer-coloured young bark beneath. It is particularly peely on the branches especially at their junctions with the main stem where it often collects in dense, loose bunches. 2. Resembling or characteristic of a peel. Example: Nut-cracking goes on in a perfect fusillade, and oranges are peeled to an extent that sends a Covent Garden Market fragrance through the house, swifter than fall the peely flakes from the gallery above. Example: The fundamental impression to be gained from tasting comminuted products is that they taste “peely” and have an aroma that is associated more with the peel than the juice. 3. Intended to be peeled. Labels: rare Example: Oranges’ skins are more peely than pare-y. Example: An article in the New York Times dated 19 July 2005 announces that laser-coded “Tattooed Fruit Is on the Way,” and that it will bring “an end to those tiny stubborn stickers that have to be picked, scraped, or yanked off.” Hmm. Were those “stubborn stickers” really so annoying? Well, the peely labels may have had their day—but let it be remember that in that day, Paul was an Early and an Active Riser. 4. Having a peel. Labels: rare Example: Primates process protected fruits by holding them in the hand(s) and removing the peel with the incisors. The ability of primates to consume unprotected fruits is restricted by competition from birds whereas texture prevents birds from consuming peely fruits. Example: They may possess a thin skin, which separates with difficulty from the flesh, or a thick layer that peels easily from the flesh and is, therefore, best called a peel. Only fleshy fruits are intended for consumption by vertebrates. In the South American rain-forest, Janson (1983) found that skinned fruits were consumed mainly by birds whereas anthropoid primates appeared to concentrate on peely fruits. It is quite possible that the spatulate incisor, distinctive of anthropoid primates, evolved in the common ancestor for opening peely fruit (Lucas, 1989a).

Example: (rare) 2. A specialist in Scandinavian studies. Labels: jargon Example: The lists of new members published regularly in our notes sections do not indicate that very many of the men and women in the field are making determined efforts to increase our membership.

Example: Seip presented arguments of four kinds to prove that this antecedent manuscript was of Norwegian origin. [...] There was an immediate rejoinder from the well-known German Scandinavianist, Hans Kuhn, to the effect that examples of similar Norvagisms could be found also in other Icelandic manuscripts.

Alternative form of Scandinavianist (“supporter of Scandinavism”). Labels: alt-of, alternative, historical Example: But far from being naïve Scandinavist ideologists, Blix et al. continually criticizes the utopian Scandinavists' talk of brotherhood and 'one culture', but also—and perhaps most importantly—made cultural separatism and provincialism, particularly in Norway, the object of crass satire. 2. Alternative form of Scandinavianist (“specialist in Scandinavian studies”). Labels: alt-of, alternative, jargon Example: But his successor, Dr. Daniel B. Shumway, Professor of Germanic Philology and head of the German department, was just as staunch a Scandinavist as his predecessor. Example: Your reviewer, being more particularly a Scandinavist, would like to add a few details from his own field.
Word: Scandinavist Part of Speech: adj Etymology: For the ideology, from Scandinav(ism) + -ist; in the meaning scholar of Scandinavian studies, Scandinav(ia) + -ist with analogy with earlier Romanist, Germanist, Anglist; likely reinforced by German Skandinavist. 1. Pertaining to Scandinavism. Labels: historical, not-comparable Example: The "Scandinavist" movement aiming at greater intimacy between the three northern countries, made great progress during the war along political, scientific, and cultural lines and "Scandinavist" Congresses were held in each of the three capitals. Example: [The mål question] arose at a time when the Union with Sweden was already being severely criticized in Norway and it continued during the Scandinavist movement, which politically failed when neither Norway nor Sweden was willing to aid Denmark against Prussia and Austria in 1864. 2. Pertaining to Scandinavian studies. Labels: jargon, not-comparable Example: With him the pendulum is swinging away from the Germanist-Scandinavist tradition of the older generation as it is doing also in the University of Surrey [...] Example: The study will, of course, be valuable reading for those interested in Swedish orthography, and for the Scandinavist scholar, but certainly not only for them.
