syphilis 梅毒
來自 1530 年出版于意大利的一首拉丁語詩《Syphilis,sive Morbus Gallicus》，翻譯成英語即 “Syphilis,or the French Disease”，來自 Syphilis,人名，sive,或者，Morbus,病，詞源同 morbid, 病態的，Gallicus,高盧。該詩講述了一個叫 Syphilis 的牧羊人得了梅毒的故事，可能為歐洲 歷史上第一個得此病的人。這首詩的創作背景如下：在 1494 年，法國入侵意大利，同年或 在 1495 年，在意大利那不勒斯發生了歐洲歷史上第一次梅毒的大規模爆發，那不勒斯人堅 定認為該傳染病是由法國軍隊入侵帶來的，因此也就稱之為“法國病”。后 1530 年，意大 利醫生和詩人 Girolamo Fracastoro 創作了該詩歌，描述了該病在意大利的肆虐成災，而 Syphilis 也成為梅毒的代名詞。
英文詞源
- syphilis
- syphilis: [18] Syphilus was the name of a shepherd who according to Syphilis sive morbus Gallicus (Syphilis or the French disease) 1530, a poem by the Veronese doctor Girolamo Fracastoro, was the first sufferer from syphilis. The word Syphilis in Fracastoro’s title meant simply ‘narrative about Syphilus’; he did not use it as a generic term for the disease until 1546, in a treatise called De contagione (Concerning contagious disease). It is not known where he got the name Syphilus from.
- syphilis (n.)
- infectious venereal disease, 1718, Modern Latin, originally from the title of a poem, "Syphilis, sive Morbus Gallicus" "Syphilis, or the French Disease," published 1530, by Veronese doctor Girolamo Fracastoro (1483-1553), which tells the tale of the shepherd Syphilus, supposed to be the first sufferer from the disease. Fracastoro first used the word as a generic term for the disease in his 1546 treatise "De Contagione." Why he chose the name is unknown; it may be intended as Latin for "Pig-lover," though there was also a Sipylus, a son of Niobe, in Ovid.
