释义 | ☞ Gamut is a contraction of medieval Latin gamma ut, gamma being the lowest note in the medieval musical scale and ut the first of the six notes forming a hexachord. Together, therefore, they represent the full range of notes of which a voice or an instrument is capable. The American writer Dorothy Parker (1893–1967) is famous for (allegedly) remarking sarcastically of a performance by Katherine Hepburn 'She ran the whole gamut of the emotions from A to B.'
