rauscharm

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

German

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Rauschen (gerund of rauschen (to rustle)) +‎ -arm (low in, literally poor). The suffix -arm is added to nominals; nevertheless the gerund behaves like a normal infinitive dropping the suffix -en. Derivation from Rausch is semantically ruled out.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈraʊ̯ʃˌarm/, [ˈʁaʊ̯ʃˌʔaʁm], [-ˌʔaɐ̯m], [-ˌʔaːm]
  • Audio (Germany (Berlin)):(file)

Adjective

[edit]

rauscharm (strong nominative masculine singular rauscharmer, comparative rauschärmer, superlative am rauschärmsten) (technology)

  1. (e.g. of a radio) low-noise, creating little crackling noise
  2. (by extension, of a camera) creating little image noise
