(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.
