(wn) | virgule
n 1: a punctuation mark (/) used to separate related items of
information [syn: solidus, slash, virgule,
diagonal, stroke, separatrix] |
virgule
(foldoc) | virgule
Rare, and ambiguous: slash or comma.
"Virgule" (or rather, Latin "virgula", meaning "little rod"
or, vividly enough, "little penis") was the name of a
punctuation character shaped like a small slash and used in
the Latin writing system much like a modern comma -- hence
the ambiguity of this term in modern English.
Compare French "virgule" and Italian "virgola", meaning
"comma" (not "slash"); Italian "doppia virgola" and
"virgoletta", both meaning "double quote".
