APHESIS [Stress: ‘AH-fe-sis’]. The loss of an unstressed vowel at the beginning of a WORD, as in
prentice from
apprentice, sometimes leading to a word with a new meaning and use:
lone from
alone,
slant from
aslant,
squire from
esquire. Younger children often speak aphetically, a style that Rudyard Kipling imitates in
Just So Stories (1902), marking the loss with an apostrophe:
'Stute Fish,
'scruciating idle,
'sclusively bare,
'satiable curiosity. See
APH(A)ERESIS,
ELISION.
