Definitions and meaning of albino

albino

Etymology

Borrowed from Portuguese albino and Spanish albino.

  • Portuguese albino is from Medieval Latin albinus, from Latin albus
  • Spanish albino is diminutive of albo, from Latin albus (“white”).

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ælˈbiːnəʊ/
  • (General American) IPA(key): /ælˈbaɪnoʊ/
  • (Ireland) IPA(key): /alˈbiːnoː/

Adjective

albino (not comparable)

  1. Congenitally lacking melanin pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair or feathers (or more rarely only in the eyes); born with albinism.

Usage notes

  • The term is considered offensive by some (when used as a term for human beings); "albinistic" is a possible alternative.
  • The term is not comparative: one either has albinism (a recessive genetic trait) or does not. While the effects of albinism may be more marked in some individuals, this does not make those individuals "more albino" than others. To the extent that it could be comparable, perhaps in metaphoric usage, the comparatives would be more/most/less/least albino (not *albinoer, *albinest, etc).

Synonyms

  • (lacking melanin): albinal, albinic, albinistic, albinoid, hypomelanistic, hypomelanoid, amelanistic, amelanoid

Antonyms

  • (antonym(s) of "having an excess of melanin"): hypermelanistic, hypermelanoid, melanistic, melanoid
