Etymology
From short +? lived (“having a life, lifed”), equivalent to short +? life +? -ed. Compare Middle English short-livi, sort-levi (“short-lived”).
Pronunciation
- (US) IPA(key): /???t?l?vd/, /???t?la?vd/; see usage notes below
Adjective
short-lived (comparative shorter-lived, superlative shortest-lived)
- Alive or existent for only a short period of time.
Usage notes
- The pronunciation /???t?la?vd/ (the second syllable rhyming with hived) is more consistent with the etymology (since the term comes from the noun life rather than the verb live), and was formerly more common; however, the pronunciation /???t?l?vd/ (the second syllable pronounced as the verb lived) is more common today.
