scholar的词源
英文词源
- scholar (n.)
- Old English scolere "student," from Medieval Latin scholaris, noun use of Late Latin scholaris "of a school," from Latin schola (see school (n.1)). Greek scholastes meant "one who lives at ease." The Medieval Latin word was widely borrowed (Old French escoler, French écolier, Old High German scuolari, German Schüler). The modern English word might be a Middle English reborrowing from French. Fowler points out that in British English it typically has been restricted to those who attend a school on a scholarship.
中文词源
一个真正的学者总得有闲暇(不仅指有时间)看书治学,有闲暇思考问题,有闲暇进行学术讨论。假若你觉得这并没有什么可奇怪的,那么你对scholar 一词的来源就不会感到很惊讶了。scholar(学者)和school(学校)的源流都可以追溯到意为“闲暇”的希腊语schole。在尚武的古希腊人看来,这是完全符合逻辑的,学校应是有充裕时间进行学习的地方。柏拉图和亚里士多德等希腊哲学家在给青年人讲学时所分成的早期班组就被称作schole。该词进入拉丁语后,作schola,已带有“学校”的含义。英语school,scholar及其派生词均源于此。但用于短语a school of dolphins(一群海豚)中的school(群)则是词源迥异的另一个词,是从荷兰语school借过来的。
