ceremony的词源

英文词源

ceremony: ceremony: [14] The antecedents of ceremony are obscure. We can trace it back to Latin caerimōnia ‘religious rites’, but there the trail stops. It probably arrived in English via Old French ceremonie.
ceremony (n.): late 14c., cerymonye, from Old French ceremonie and directly from Medieval Latin ceremonia, from Latin caerimonia "holiness, sacredness; awe; reverent rite, sacred ceremony," an obscure word, possibly of Etruscan origin, or a reference to the ancient rites performed by the Etruscan pontiffs at Caere, near Rome. Introduced in English by Wyclif.

来自PIE*kwer, 做，履行，词源同Sanskrit(梵语), karma(业，因果报应). 俗词源认为来自地名Caere，罗马地名，因最早进行相关的宗教仪式而得名。
