Middle English universite
中古英语 universite
from Old French
源自 古法语
from Medieval Latin ¿³s}
源自 中世纪拉丁语 ¿³s}
from Latin [the whole, a corporate body]
源自 拉丁语 [全体,一个联合的整体]
from ¿s [whole] * see universe
源自 ¿s [完整的,全部的] *参见 universe
The universe in the word university is not the universe as we know it, though university is derived from the ancestor of our word universe. This ancestor, Latin ¿, was made up of ¿, “one,” and versus, “in a specified direction.” Us thus literally meant “in one specified direction” but actually meant “the whole of, entire,” and “regarded as a whole, regarded as a group.” U, the neuter singular of ¿, used as a noun, meant “the universe,” as did the derivative ¿³s,} which also meant “a corporate body of persons, community.” During the Middle Ages, when Latin continued to be used in areas such as government, religion, and education, the word ¿³s} was applied to the new corporate bodies of teachers and students, as at Salerno, Paris, and Oxford, that were the ancestors of our universities of today. Our word university, going back to the Latin word, is first recorded around 1300, with reference to this corporate body.
University 一词中的“universe”并不是我们所知道的宇宙这个词, 虽然university 是由我们的 universe 这个词的前身派生而来的。 这一前身,即拉丁文中的universus 是由表示“一”的 unus 和表示“沿着某一特定的方向”的 versus 构成的。 Universus 字面上的意思因此就是“沿着一个特定的方向”, 但它实际的意思却是“整个、全部”和“被视为一个整体的,被视为一个群体的”。 Universum ,是 universus 的中性单数形式, 用作名词时指“宇宙”, 同样派生词universitas 也指“一群个人的联合体,社团”。 在中世纪,拉丁文继续在诸如政府、宗教和教育等领域得到使用,universitas 这个词被用来指由教师和学生所构成的新联合体,比如在萨勒诺、巴黎和牛津出现的这种联合体, 而这类联合体即是我们今天的大学的最初形式。我们今天的university 这个词可以上溯到拉丁词, 它首次被记录下来是在大约1300年,当时就是用来指这种联合体
university
uni + versity=将很多学院、学系组成一所综合大学
