| appellative | 1. A common name, distinction from a proper name. A common name, or appellative, stands for a whole class, genus, or species of beings, or for universal ideas. Thus, tree is the name of all plants of a particular class; plant and vegetable are names of things that grow out of the earth. A proper name, on the other hand, stands for a single thing; as, Rome, Washington, Lake Erie. 2. An appellation or title; a descriptive name. "God chosen it for one of his appellatives to be the Defender of them." (Jer. Taylor) Origin: L. Appelativum, sc. Nomen. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
