abbot
英 ['?b?t]||||||美 ['?b?t]
來(lái)自希臘語(yǔ) abbas，來(lái)自亞拉姆語(yǔ) abba（阿爸、神父），很顯然這是一個(gè)擬聲詞，由于修道院是為天主教培訓(xùn)神父的學(xué)院，而該詞就表示修道院的男性院長(zhǎng)，即：男修道院院長(zhǎng)，與之相對(duì)應(yīng)的是 abbess（女修道院院長(zhǎng)）。同源詞：abba（阿爸、神父）、abbey（修道院）、 abbess（女修道院院長(zhǎng)）。
- abbot
- abbot: [OE] Abbot comes ultimately from abbā, a Syriac word meaning ‘father’ (which itself achieved some currency in English, particularly in reminiscence of its biblical use: ‘And he said, Abba, father, all things are possible unto thee’, Mark 14:36). This came into Greek as abbás, and thence, via the Latin accusative abbatem, into Old English as abbud or abbod.
The French term abbé (which is much less specific in meaning than English abbot) comes from the same source. In much the same way as father is used in modern English for priests, abba was widely current in the East for referring to monks, and hence its eventual application to the head of a monastery. A derivative of Latin abbatem was abbatia, which has given English both abbacy [15] and (via Old French abbeie) abbey [13]. Abbess is of similar antiquity (Latin had abbatissa).
=> abbess, abbey - abbot (n.)
- Old English abbod "abbot," from Latin abbatem (nominative abbas), from Greek abbas, from Aramaic abba, title of honor, literally "the father, my father," emphatic state of abh "father." The Latin fem. abbatissa is root of abbess.
- 1. I wonder if I might have a word with Mr Abbot?
- 請(qǐng)問(wèn)我能否和阿博特先生說(shuō)幾句話？
