text的词源
英文词源
- text
- text: [14] Latin texere meant ‘weave’ (this was actually a secondary sense, its original meaning being ‘build’, and it went back ultimately to the Indo-European base *tek- ‘make’, source also of English technical). Its past participle textus was used as a noun meaning ‘woven material’, and hence metaphorically ‘literary composition’. English acquired it via Old French texte. Other English words from the same source include context [15], pretext [16], subtle, textile [17], texture [15], tissue, and toilet.
=> architect, context, pretext, subtle, technical, texture, tissue, toilet - text (n.)
- late 14c., "wording of anything written," from Old French texte, Old North French tixte "text, book; Gospels" (12c.), from Medieval Latin textus "the Scriptures, text, treatise," in Late Latin "written account, content, characters used in a document," from Latin textus "style or texture of a work," literally "thing woven," from past participle stem of texere "to weave, to join, fit together, braid, interweave, construct, fabricate, build," from PIE root *teks- "to weave, to fabricate, to make; make wicker or wattle framework" (see texture (n.)).
An ancient metaphor: thought is a thread, and the raconteur is a spinner of yarns -- but the true storyteller, the poet, is a weaver. The scribes made this old and audible abstraction into a new and visible fact. After long practice, their work took on such an even, flexible texture that they called the written page a textus, which means cloth. [Robert Bringhurst, "The Elements of Typographic Style"]
- text (v.)
- "to send a text message by mobile system," 2005; see text (n.).
Related: Texted; texting. Formerly it meant "to write in text letters" (1590s), text letters being a kind of large writing used by clerks in the text or body of a manuscript (distinguished from the smaller hand used in the notes).
中文词源
英语的“课文”叫text，“纺织品”叫textile，“作品的结构” 、“皮肤的肌理”、“岩石的纹理”叫texture，这三个词都来自拉丁语动词texo，意思是“编织”，这一点与汉语很相近，我们讲“编筐”、“织布”、“织毛衣”也说“编故事”、“编辑”、“编造”、“罗织罪名”、“罗织成章”等。Texo派生出名词texrus，意思是“文风”、“文学作品的结构”或“编织词句的方式”，那么，英语的另一个词pretext（借口）就好理解了，pre来自拉丁语pre，意思为“在……前面”，pretext即是说“借口”这个东西象一幅织就的幕布一样掩饰在某些东西前面，将其真相遮盖。
