Etymology

From troponym + -ous.

Meanings

  1. (not-comparable) Synonym of troponymic.
    • Example (16-a) is a synset pair in WordNet standing in hypernymy-troponymy relation. This thesis hereafter uses the arrow to indicate troponymous relation of which the word to the left of the arrow is the hypernym and the word to the right is the troponym. Hence, under a certain sense in WordNet, 'anesthetize' is the hypernym of 'cocainize' or 'to cocainize' is a way to 'anesthetize'. After mapping through ECTED [English-Chinese Translation Equivalents Database], the program returned Chinese verb pairs as (16-b) shows. 2009, Chiao-Shan Lo, Automatic Labeling of Hypernymy-Troponymy Relation for Chinese Verbs.
