item

== English == === Etymology === From Middle English item, from Latin item (“also; in the same manner”). The present English meaning derives from a usage in lists, where the first entry would begin in primis (“firstly”) or imprimis, and the other entries with item (“also, moreover”). Later, the members of lists were referred to as "items". === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈaɪ.təm/ (General American, Canada) IPA(key): /ˈaɪ.təm/, [ˈaɪ̯.ɾəm], [ˈaɪ̯.ɾm̩] (General Australian) IPA(key): /ˈɑe.təm/, [ˈɑe̯.ɾəm], [ˈɑe̯.ɾm̩] (New Zealand) IPA(key): /ˈaɪ.təm/, [ˈɑe̯.ɾəm], [ˈɑe̯.ɾm̩] Hyphenation: i‧tem === Noun === item (plural items) A distinct physical object.
