(earlier (late Middle English ) as alternation ): from Latin alternat- ‘done by turns, ’ from alternare, from alternus ‘every other, ’ from alter ‘other, the other. ’ usage: See usage at alternative .

(in the sense ‘alternating, alternate ’): from French alternatif, -ive or medieval Latin alternativus, from Latin alternare ‘interchange ’ (see alternate ). usage: 1 Alternate can be a verb, noun, or adjective, while alternative can be a noun or adjective. In both American and British English, the adjective alternate means ‘every other ’ ( there will be a dance on alternate Saturdays ) and the adjective alternative means ‘available as another choice ’ ( an alternative route; alternative medicine; alternative energy sources ). In American usage, however, alternate can also be used to mean ‘available as another choice ’: an alternate plan called for construction to begin immediately rather than waiting for spring. Likewise, a book club may offer an ‘alternate selection ’ as an alternative to the main selection. 2 Some traditionalists maintain, from an etymological standpoint, that you can have only two alternatives (from the Latin alter ‘other (of two ); the other ’) and that uses of more than two alternatives are erroneous. Such uses are, however, normal in modern standard English.

ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (in the sense ‘alternating, alternate ’): from French alternatif, -ive or medieval Latin alternativus, from Latin alternare ‘interchange ’ (see alternate ). usage: Some traditionalists maintain that you can only have a maximum of two alternatives, because the word alternative comes from Latin alter ‘other (of two )’) and that uses where there are more than two alternatives are wrong.
