introit

== English == === Etymology === From Late Middle English introite (“act of entering in or into, entrance; place of entrance”), borrowed from Anglo-Norman introït, introïte (“introit”), or from its etymon Latin introitus (“act of entering in or into, entrance; passage; place of entrance; (figuratively) beginning, introduction, prelude”), from introeō (“to enter, go in”) + -tus (suffix forming action nouns from verbs). Introeō is derived from intrō (“to enter, go into”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁én (“in”)) + eō (“to go”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (“to go”)). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) enPR: ĭnʹtroit, ĭntrōʹĭt, IPA(key): /ˈɪntɹɔɪt/, /ɪnˈtɹəʊɪt/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˈɪnˌtɹɔɪt/, /ən-/ Rhymes: -ɔɪt, -əʊɪt Hyphenation: in‧troit, in‧tro‧it === Noun === introit (plural introits) (Roman Catholicism, music) A prayer, typically part of a psalm or other portion of the Bible, read or sung at the start of Mass while or immediately after the priest ascends to the altar.
