Talk:assurgent

RFV discussion: May–December 2023
Rfv-sense for the noun, "(heraldry) A man or beast rising out of the sea." I think it's only an adjective; compare WT:RFVE. I'm listing this here rather than just changing the POS because (1) it's been listed as a noun for seventeen years, and (2) maybe someone will add a non-heraldic noun sense (searching for the plural suggests one might exist). - -sche (discuss) 16:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * non-heraldic noun sense turns out to be existent but hard to attest, short of combing through every use of and hand-pick the non-adjectival ones out. For the general noun sense "one who rises", OED has just one quote from . I managed to find another quote, which amounts to two. I've added them to the entry.
 * Almost every English result of the form assurgents on GBook is a scanno, except the ones from the following source, which uses the word as a noun regularly:
 * But assurgency seems to be coined in this book specifically as a rendering of Ancient Greek φύσις.
 * The only other non-scanno GBook hit of assurgents is from a self-published book, which reads "an assurgents [sic] of life" with the meaning somewhat unclear. 蒼鳥 fawk. tell me if i did anything wrong. 15:48, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
