Phoenician 腓尼基人

来自拉丁语Phoenice,来自希腊语Phoinike,腓尼基人,字面意思可能为紫色的土地,因腓尼基在当时以出产紫色的颜料闻名希腊,紫色在古代为高贵之色。腓尼基人为古代闪族人的一支,生活在今地中海东岸黎巴嫩和叙利亚沿海一带,在古代文明极其先进和发达,腓尼基人出于商业贸易的需要,创造了腓尼基字母,为现在广泛使用的希腊字母和拉丁字母的祖先。

英文词源


Phoenician (n.)
late 14c., from Middle French phenicien, from Latin Phoenice, from Greek Phoinike "Phoenicia" (including Carthage), perhaps literally "land of the purple" (i.e., source of purple dye, the earliest use of which was ascribed to the Phoenicians by the Greeks). Identical with phoenix (q.v.), but the relationship is obscure. In reference to a language from 1836; as an adjective from c. 1600.
