ampersand 音標拼音: ['æmpɚs,ænd] n. &[=and] 的記號名稱 &[ ampersand 位址計算符號 ampersand & 號 ampersand n 1: a punctuation mark (&) used to represent conjunction (and) Ampersand \Am"per*sand\, n. [A corruption of and, per se and, i. e., & by itself makes and.] A word used to describe the character ?, ?, or &. --Halliwell. [1913 Webster] Common names: {ITU-T}, {INTERCAL}: ampersand; amper; and. Rare: address (from {C}); reference (from C); bitand; background (from {sh}); pretzel; amp. A common symbol for "and", used as the "address of" operator in {C}, the "reference" operator in {C} and a {bitwise} {AND} operator in several programming languages. {UNIX} {shells} use the character to indicate that a task should be run in the {background}. The ampersand is a ligature (combination) of the cursive letters "e" and "t", invented in 63 BC by Marcus Tirus [Tiro?] as shorthand for the Latin word for "and", "et". The word ampersand is a conflation (combination) of "and, per se and". Per se means "by itself", and so the phrase translates to "&, standing by itself, means 'and'". This was at the end of the alphabet as it was recited by children in old English schools. The words ran together and were associated with "&". The "ampersand" spelling dates from 1837. {Take our word for it (http://takeourword.com/Issue010.html)}. (2000-10-28)
