ombudsman的词源

英文词源

ombudsman: ombudsman: [20] The word ombudsman, denoting an ‘investigator of public complaints’, was introduced into English from Swedish, and was first used as a quasi-official term in the 1960s: New Zealand was the first Englishspeaking country to introduce such a post, in 1962, and Britain followed four years later. The Swedish word is a descendant of Old Norse umbothsmathr, literally ‘administration-man’; and umboth was originally a compound of um ‘about’ and both ‘command’ (a relative of English bid).
=> bid
ombudsman (n.): 1959, from Swedish ombudsman, literally "commission man" (specifically in reference to the office of justitieombudsmannen, which hears and investigates complaints by inpiduals against abuses of the state); cognate with Old Norse umboðsmaðr, from umboð "commission" (from um- "around," see ambi-, + boð "command," see bid (v.)) + maðr "man" (see man (n.)).

来自瑞典语ombudsman,使命专员，来自om-,在周围，缩写自ambi-,词源同ambassador（大使）,-bud,命令，召唤，词源同bid,man,人。原指中央政府或君主派到地方进行巡视的官员，类似于中国古代的监察御史，现用于指政府巡查员。
