goldenloom stranger Registered: 01/21/10 Posts: 1	Originally Posted By: BranShea Tuber morphology, germination behaviour and propagation efficiency in three … K Joseph John, VT Antony, J Marydas, R … - Genetic Resources and …, 2009 - Springer ... In undisturbed pots, it was 60, 120 and 128 days, respectively. Invariably all the three species started sprouting by the end of Febru- ary. Moisture loss and aeration may be the factors responsible for hascent (early) sprouting. ... Link Some of the quotes with hascent (like the Cox one, and this ) do seem to be a straightforward mistyping of nascent, but this germination quote stands out. Sprouting is itself a nascent state, so it is redundant to describe it as one. "Nascent sprouting" also doesn't express what is told through context, which is that the sprouting is not so much nascent as it is hastened. I've seen the word hascent once before, and I wonder if it is similar to hastened and somehow slipped through the cracks.

But if you have seen it used elsewhere it may be growing into a real word. welcome

Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13654	Nascent is from the Latin nasci, 'to be born'. If anyone can scare up a Latin word anything like hasci, 'to be early' I'll leave tsuwm's camp. Until then I'm with the typo-for-nascent theory.

BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 5249 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	But why can't it be a spontaneous mutation word? Must it be traced back to Latin?

zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/13/05 Posts: 3269 Loc: R'lyeh	But why can't it be a spontaneous mutation word? It is. It' a typo. Funny enough, Google Books returned a lot of ghits for hascent, but upon inspection they all turned out to be misreadings for nascent. Must it be traced back to Latin? Nope, but some of us here enjoy the chase immensely. Others prefer just speculatin', which is okay, too. _________________________ Ceci n'est pas un seing.

tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 10463 Loc: this too shall pass	you could always add it to one of those 'open dictionaries' - that would make it "real" in no time at all. edit: I'd love to work on the etymology..
