- /ɪˈlaɪd/
Rhymes with -aɪd
Where it comes from
From Latin ēlīdō (“to knock, dash or strike out”), from ex- (“out, away”) + laedō (“to strike, collide, hurt”) (whence e- (“assimilated form of ex-”)).
verb elides · eliding · elided
- To leave out or omit (something). Graham Hough's apparently objective assertion that 'Ozymandias' is 'extremely clear and direct', for example, elides the question of 'to whom?'.
- To cut off, as a vowel or a syllable.
- To conflate; to smear together; to blur the distinction between. As Ms Shafak summarises, “the state is privileged, all-powerful and yet paradoxically safeguarded as if it were a fragile entity in need of protection.” Between it and its citizens a gulf looms; conversely, officials elide its interests with their own.
