n.(名词)<注释>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'.誓言在语源学中是exorcise 的基本意思, 而这个词又可以追溯到希腊语exorkizein, 后者意味着.宣誓.、.发誓.、.恳求.和.驱赶.。 Exorkizein 依次由含有.完全地.这个意思的前缀ex- 和含有.使发誓,在誓言约束下.这个意思的动词 horkizein 构成,后者源自 horkos .誓言.。 我们现在用的exorcise 最早在英文中的记录出自一本可能早于5世纪初写的一本著作中。 在当时,exorcise 通常意味着.召回灵魂., 而不是54'年才最早记录到的.驱赶鬼魂.这个含义注释>
