词源
- hysterical歇斯底里的来自希腊语hystera,子宫,词源同uterus.在古希腊时期的医学观点认为妇女的子宫功能失调会导致一种神经性疾病,即癔病。
- hysterical歇斯底里的旧时的希腊医生认为,女子比男子更容易情绪激动,更易患癔病(即歇斯底里症),将之归因于子宫机能的失调。有的人甚而认为,癔病是一种女人病,因为男人没有子宫。这一错误看法正是意指“癔病”即歇斯底里的hysteria一词及其派生形容词hysterical的理据,而且充分反映在词源上。Hysteria始见于19世纪,直接借自拉丁语。英语另有一词hysterectomy(子宫切除术)也源于此。
- hystericalFrom hysteric + -al, from Latin hystericus, from Ancient Greek ὑστερικός (husterikós, “suffering in the womb, hysterical”), from ὑστερά (husterá, “womb”).
