noun Etymology: Middle French fuellage, from foille leaf — more at foil Date: 1598 1. a representation of leaves, flowers, and branches for architectural ornamentation 2. the aggregate of leaves of one or more plants 3. a cluster of leaves, flowers, and branches • ~d adjective Usage: The disyllabic pronunciation ?fo-lij is very common. Some commentators insist that ~ requires a trisyllabic pronunciation because of its spelling, but words of a similar pattern such as carriage and marriage do not fall under their prescription. The pronunciation ?fo?i-lij is disapproved because it suggests the transposition of the l and i in the spelling. It is not as common as ?fo-lij and may be associated with the nonstandard spelling foilage. ...Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary
