词源
- superstition来自中世纪法语superstition, 来自拉丁语superstitio.
- superstition迷信拉丁前缀super-表示over,above，与希腊前缀hyper-和日耳曼词源的单词over同源，stition部分可以理解做a standing，词根与stand同源，表示站立。罗马人信奉神，认为神和人是平等共存的，可是迷信认为常识之外超自然现象背后的力量“standing above”人类。
- superstition迷信super-,在上，上方，-stit,站，站立，词源同 stand,institute.字面意思即站在上面，用于指俯视 众生的神，引申词义迷信，迷信观念。比较汉语“举头三尺有神明”。
