英文詞源
- hieroglyphic
- hieroglyphic: [16] Etymologically, hieroglyphic means ‘of sacred carving’. It came via French hiéroglyphique from Greek hierogluphikós, a compound of hierós ‘sacred’ and gluphé ‘carving’ (which derived from the same source as English cleave ‘split’). It was applied to the picture writing of the ancient Egyptians because this was used in sacred texts.
=> cleave - hieroglyphic
- 1580s (adj. and n.), from Late Latin hieroglyphicus, from Greek hieroglyphikos "hieroglyphic; of Egyptian writing," from hieros "sacred" (see ire) + glyphe "carving," from glyphein "to carve" (see glyph). Plutarch began the custom of using the adjective (ta hieroglyphika) as a noun.
