ceremony 儀式

來自PIE*kwer, 做，履行，詞源同Sanskrit(梵語), karma(業(yè)，因果報(bào)應(yīng)). 俗詞源認(rèn)為來自地名Caere，羅馬地名，因最早進(jìn)行相關(guān)的宗教儀式而得名。

ceremony: ceremony: [14] The antecedents of ceremony are obscure. We can trace it back to Latin caerimōnia ‘religious rites’, but there the trail stops. It probably arrived in English via Old French ceremonie.
ceremony (n.): late 14c., cerymonye, from Old French ceremonie and directly from Medieval Latin ceremonia, from Latin caerimonia "holiness, sacredness; awe; reverent rite, sacred ceremony," an obscure word, possibly of Etruscan origin, or a reference to the ancient rites performed by the Etruscan pontiffs at Caere, near Rome. Introduced in English by Wyclif.
