New American Oxford Dictionary

stratum

stra tum |ˈstrātəm, ˈstra- ˈstreɪdəm | ▶noun ( pl. strata |ˈstrātə, ˈstra- | ) 1 a layer or a series of layers of rock in the ground: a stratum of flint. • a thin layer within any structure: thin strata of air. 2 a level or class to which people are assigned according to their social status, education, or income: members of other social strata. • Statistics a group into which members of a population are divided in stratified sampling. ORIGIN late 16th cent. (in the sense ‘layer or coat of a substance ’): modern Latin, from Latin, literally ‘something spread or laid down, ’ neuter past participle of sternere ‘strew. ’ usage: In Latin, the word stratum is singular and its plural form is strata. In English, this distinction is maintained. It is therefore incorrect to use strata as a singular: a new stratum was uncovered (not a new strata was uncovered ). It is also wrong to create the form stratums or stratas as the plural: a series of overlying strata (not overlying stratums or overlying stratas ).

 

stratum corneum

stra tum cor ne um |ˈstrātəm ˌkôrnēəm, ˈstra- ˌstreɪdəm ˈkɔrniəm | ▶noun Anatomy the horny outer layer of the skin. ORIGIN Latin, literally ‘horny layer. ’
