IPA: /ˈlɒndʒəɹi/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈlɒndʒəɹeɪ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈlɒ̃ʒəɹi/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈlɒ̃ʒəɹeɪ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˌlɑn.ʒəˈɹeɪ/ [General-American], /ˈlɑn.ʒə.ɹi/ [General-American], /ˌlɔn.(d)ʒəˈɹæɪ/ [General-Australian], /ˈlɔ̃.(d)ʒə.ɹæɪ/ [General-Australian], /-ɹi/ [General-Australian] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-lingerie.wav Forms: lingeries [plural]
Rhymes: -eɪ, -iː Etymology: Borrowed from French lingerie (“linen closet”). The irregular pronunciation may derive from the frequent shift of /ɛ̃/ (which is this word's first vowel in standard French) toward /ɑ̃/ or [æ̃] in European French, which also tends to be drifted towards /ɔ̃/.
