rebus

Etymology
From, or directly from its probable , the   of , ultimately from. The connection between the English word and its Latin etymon is unclear.

The following possibilities have been suggested, but according to the  are problematic:

 * According to the French scholar (1613–1692) in Les origines de la langue françoise (The Origins of the French Language, 1650), it is taken from the phrase de rebus quae geruntur (“concerning the things that are taking place”) which was used in 16th-century Picardy as the name for satirical writings on contemporary subjects containing picture-riddles that were composed for an annual carnival. However, the term rebus de Picardie is first attested later than the word rébus, and so could simply refer to rebuses popular in Picardy at the time.
 * Alternatively, it could be from the phrase nōn verbīs sed rēbus meaning “not by words but by things”, but this “encounters difficulties in the chronology of the senses in French”.

Noun

 * 1) An arrangement of pictures, symbols, and/or words representing phrases or words, especially as a word puzzle.
 * 2)  A pictographic component of a compound character (e.g. sinograph) used to hint at the pronunciation of the compound.
 * 3)  An arrangement of pictures on a coat of arms which suggests the name of the person to whom it belongs.

barrister

Etymology
From (a collective term for lawyers or the legal profession) and the suffix.

Noun

 * 1)  A lawyer with the right to speak and argue as an advocate in higher lawcourts.

Usage notes
Some legal systems apply a separation of the roles of barrister and solicitor, such that a barrister (only) may address the court on a client's behalf and a solicitor (only) may act as an attorney for clients (note that this does not preclude a lawyer from being qualified as both). In particular, this separation occurs in the UK and in countries that use the UK system. It does not apply in the US or Canada. Some systems apply a separation of roles that does not match the barrister/solicitor split.

raï

Etymology
From, from , from.

Noun

 * 1) A form of music, originating in Oran, Algeria from Bedouin shepherds.
 * 2) * 1991 March-April, David McMurray and Ted Swedenburg, "Rai Tide Rising" in Middle East Report no. 169, page 39 :
 * Rai arrives in the US, in some ways, as the latest rage to hit the World Music record bins, the result of a new post-modern global marketing strategy.
 * 1) * 1997: Karen Fog Olwig & Kirsten Hastrup, Siting Culture: The Shifting Anthropological Object — chapter 3: “Which world? On the diffusion of Algerian raï to the West”, p59: I NTRODUCTION ISBN 0415150027 (10); ISBN 978-0415150026 (13))†
 * This chapter deals with raï music from Algeria. Since its emergence in the late 1970s, raï has spread throughout the world and stands today as an exponent of “World Music”. The chapter traces a transnational process that has taken place in the 1980s: the diffusion of raï from the cabarets of Oran (the second largest city of Algeria) to the stereo racks in the West. It evokes the existence of different places and spaces for the consumption of raï.
 * 1) * 1999: Marc Schade-Poulsen, Men and Popular Music in Algeria: The Social Significance of Raï, p34 ISBN 029277740X (10); ISBN 978-0292777408 (13))
 * In France, raï’s lack of commercial success was thought to have been caused by hidden French racism and the subsequent de facto absence of raï on commercial radio and prime-time television. All in all, it did seem difficult to “sell an Arab” to a Western audience, as was the case, for example, with Cheb Mami’s U.S.-recorded album “Let me raï”, released during the Gulf War.
 * 1) * 2003: Tullia Magrini, Music and Gender: Perspectives from the Mediterranean — chapter 14: “‘And She Sang a New Song’: Gender and Music on the Sacred Landscapes of the Mediterranean”, p333 ISBN 0226501663 (10); ISBN 978-0226501666 (13))
 * The rise of raï has paralleled the rise of Islamism in Algerian society, despite its mixing the male and female roles of musical production and consumption. Indeed, the paradox is at first glance perplexing because one might expect the critical message of raï to be anti-Islamist. The rhetoric of raï, however, does not contradict the rise of Islamism in Algeria, and therefore it acquires the potential to complement religious fundamentalism. Raï and Islam do not so much occupy the same space as draw a cluster of public discussions and debates about gender into the same discourse (Schade-Poulsen 1996, 148–53; compare Bohlman 2000, 293–96).

User talk:Catseyes818~enwiktionary

My current project is to fill in the firefighting entries that are missing. This makes sense since I am a firefighter. I'll get into my other interests later...

Firefighting terms
Hi Catseyes818, welcome to Wiktionary. It's great that you are entering terms used in your particular field.

Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I would suggest adding "(firefighters' jargon)" (without the quotation marks) immediately before the definition, as in the following made-up example:

 * 1) (firefighters' jargon) A fire that produces a lot of smoke.

(Note that what might appear to be quotation marks are actually pairs of apostrophes, which italicise the text they contain.)

I am a sysop here, so if you have an queries on anything at all that you can't find answers for elsewhere, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. — Paul G 09:36, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wiktionary. Just holler at my talk page if you have any questions or need any help. Kevin Rector 22:01, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Pyrophoric
"Able to oxidize with exposure to atmospheric oxygen at normal temperatures." was your original definition, but is not in any dictionary that I have access to. Iron oxidizes to rust in the presence of atmospheric oxygen, but isn't pyrophoric because it doesn't burst into flame. By all means, add an additional definition, but I'm pretty sure it will have to involve flame or sparks. Cheers. SemperBlotto 15:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, but it doesn't...pyrophoric carbon has been exposed to relatively low temperatures (120-200 degrees F, give or take) over a period of months. This produces a very characteristic appearance and the ability to spontaneously combust. No extra heat, no sparks or flame. It's also the reason that you keep oily rags in a noncombustible container that excludes air. Should I add a reference? I can refer people to Kirk's Fire Investigation if that will help. I know that there are pretty extensive references on Wikipedia, but I haven't seen any here and I used my own wording. Catseyes818 20:14, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Hm, I have done some Googling. Have a look at,. Fire people do seem to use the word differently. By all means add the source of your definition, especially when it differs to that in standard dictionaries. SemperBlotto 21:41, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

red links
Hi there again. By the way, I notice that you have piped several links to avoid red ones. We normally leave them red here to show what words haven't been defined yet. No big deal. SemperBlotto 15:28, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Please note that I mostly did it with words that are plurals. I just don't see the point of having a separate page for plurals of a word, but if that's what people want, more power to them. Catseyes818 20:14, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Catseyes818. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Catseyes818~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
