音樂裡的五
盒子裡裝的是音樂:五個演奏的人,或寫給他們的那首曲子。
noun · B2
A group of five singers or musicians who perform together as one act.
五重奏團;五人組
Five chairs set out in a half circle, and five parts written to fit them. The word is a container for a five: the people in the chairs, the music on the stands, or any other five taken as one group.
From French quintette and Italian quintetto, the small form of quinto (fifth), from Latin quintus, related to quinque (five). The same family gives quartet and sextet.
來自法文 quintette 和義大利文 quintetto,是 quinto(第五)的小稱,再往上是拉丁文 quintus,跟 quīnque(五)同一家。同一條線上還有 quartet(四)和 sextet(六),所以這一整組字的差別就只是那個數字。
