orthodox的词源
英文词源
- orthodox




- orthodox: [16] Greek orthós meant ‘straight, correct’ (it enters into numerous English compounds, including orthography ‘correct spelling’ [15] and orthopaedic [19]). Greek dóxa meant ‘opinion’; it was derived from the verb dokein ‘think’. Put them together and you got orthódoxos ‘having the right opinion’, which passed into English via ecclesiastical Latin orthodoxus.
- orthodox (adj.)




- mid-15c., of opinions, faith, from Late Latin orthodoxus, from Greek orthodoxos "having the right opinion," from orthos "right, true, straight" (see ortho-) + doxa "opinion, praise," from dokein "to seem," from PIE root *dek- "to take, accept" (see decent). As the name of the Eastern Church, first recorded in English 1772; in reference to a branch of Judaism, first recorded 1853.

公元1054年,基督教分裂成东西两个教会。双方都认为自己的教会才是由基督/宗徒使徒所开创的最原始的教会,并且都不让对方拥有这头衔。东部教会自称为“东正教”(Easter Orthodox Church),其中的orthodox是“正统”的含义,他们认为东正教会保留了最原始的教导和崇敬的教会传统。东正教标榜“正统性”(orthodox),所以相对保守,如严格遵守不进行偶像崇拜的传统,教堂内外都没有立体塑像,宗教仪式更加复杂和神秘。
英语词根ortho表示“正的”,与此相反的词根是hetero,表示“不正”。
