scribe的词源
英文词源
- scribe
- scribe: [14] Scribe is at the centre of a large network of English words that go back to Latin scrībere ‘write’. Others include ascribe [15], describe, scribble [15], and shrive, while its past participle scriptus has contributed script [14], scripture [13], and transcript [13]. Scribe itself comes from the Latin derivative scrība ‘official writer’. Scrībere went back to an Indo-European base which meant ‘cut, incise’, reflecting the origins of writing in carving marks on stone, wood, or clay; this was *skreibh-, an extension of *sker-, from which English gets shear, short, etc.
=> ascribe, conscription, describe, scribble, script, share, shear, short, shrive, transcribe - scribe (v.)
- "to write," mid-15c., from Latin scribere "to write" (see script (n.)).
- scribe (n.)
- c. 1200, "professional interpreter of the Jewish Law" (late 11c. as a surname), from Church Latin scriba "teacher of Jewish law," used in Vulgate to render Greek grammateus (corresponding to Hebrew sopher "writer, scholar"), special use of Latin scriba "keeper of accounts, secretary, writer," from past participle stem of scribere "to write;" see script (n.). Sense "one who writes, official or public writer" in English is from late 14c.

scribe（写）：古代用铭刻的方式来写字
古代，在墨水发明之前，人们都是用铭刻的方式来写字的，即用尖刻之物在竹简、木板、泥版、蜡板等书写材料上刻画。所以在英语单词中，表示“写”的单词scribe及由此衍生的词根scribe-还含有“刻”的含义。如inscribe，既表示“题写”，也表示“铭记”。英语单词scribe来自拉丁语scribere，本意是“刻”。与它同源的单词有：script（脚本）、prescribe（开处方）、describe（描述）、manuscript（手稿）、circumscribe（限制）。
而英语中表示“写”的更常用单词write来自古日耳曼语，本意是scratch（刮擦）。
