ex.orcis.er
n.（名詞）
<注釋>An oath is to be found at the etymological heart ofexorcise, a term going back to the Greek wordexorkizein, meaning .to swear in,. .to take an oath by,. .to conjure,. and .to exorcise.. Exorkizein in turn is formed from the prefixex-, .thoroughly,. and the verb horkizein, .to make one swear, administer an oath to,. derived from horkos, .oath.. Our wordexorcise is first recorded in English in a work composed possibly before the beginning of the 5th century, and in this useexorcise means .to call up or conjure spirits. rather than .to drive out spirits,. a sense first recorded in 54'.
誓言在語源學(xué)中是exorcise 的基本意思， 而這個(gè)詞又可以追溯到希臘語exorkizein， 后者意味著.宣誓.、.發(fā)誓.、.懇求.和.驅(qū)趕.。 Exorkizein 依次由含有.完全地.這個(gè)意思的前綴ex- 和含有.使發(fā)誓，在誓言約束下.這個(gè)意思的動(dòng)詞 horkizein 構(gòu)成，后者源自 horkos .誓言.。 我們現(xiàn)在用的exorcise 最早在英文中的記錄出自一本可能早于5世紀(jì)初寫的一本著作中。 在當(dāng)時(shí)，exorcise 通常意味著.召回靈魂.， 而不是54'年才最早記錄到的.驅(qū)趕鬼魂.這個(gè)含義
