| 词汇 | ninth wave |
| 词源 | ninth wave. A nautical superstition of old holds that waves become progressively higher until the ninth wave (some say the 10th) and that then the progression begins all over again. While waves sometimes form larger ones when they meet, there is no fixed interval when a large one can be predicted. |
