中文詞源
prestige 威望，名望
來自法語prestige,欺騙，騙術(shù)，幻術(shù)，變戲法，來自拉丁語praestigium,幻術(shù)，變戲法，來自（異化自）praestringere,使眼花繚亂，使眩暈，來自prae,在前面，stringere,拉，拉繩子，捆綁，詞源同string.該詞原用于形容法國(guó)皇帝拿破侖像個(gè)街頭玩變戲法的，含貶義和諷刺意味，后隨著越來越多的人崇拜拿破侖，詞義由貶義轉(zhuǎn)褒義，而原詞義則不再使用。
英文詞源
- prestige
- prestige: [17] As opponents of semantic change are fond of pointing out, prestige once meant ‘trick, illusion’, and its use until the 19th century was usually derogatory. It comes via French prestige from Latin praestigiae ‘illusions produced by a conjurer or juggler’, an alteration of an unrecorded *praestrigiae. This would have been a derivative of praestringere ‘blindfold’, hence ‘confuse the sight, dazzle’, a compound verb formed from the prefix prae- ‘before’ and stringere ‘bind’ (source of English strict). The modern approbatory meaning appears to have been reintroduced from French.
=> strict - prestige (n.)
- 1650s, "trick," from French prestige (16c.) "deceit, imposture, illusion" (in Modern French, "illusion, magic, glamour"), from Latin praestigium "delusion, illusion" (see prestigious). Derogatory until 19c.; sense of "dazzling influence" first applied 1815, to Napoleon.
