immigrant(n.)
"移民者",1792年,美国英语,可能基于法语 immigrant,源自拉丁语 immigrantem(主格 immigrans),现在分词 immigrare “移除,进入,搬进”(见 immigrate)。Emigrant 更早。最初用于杰里米·贝尔克纳普(Jeremy Belknap)的新罕布什尔州历史著作中,他通常被认为是创造这个词的人。
There is another deviation from the strict letter of the English dictionaries; which is found extremely convenient in our discourses on population. From the verb migro are derived emigrate and IMMIGRATE; with the same propriety as from mergo are derived emerge and IMMERGE. Accordingly the verb IMMIGRATE and the nouns IMMIGRANT and IMMIGRATION are used without scruple in some parts of this volume. [Preface to vol. III of "The History of New Hampshire," Belknap, 1792]
还有一种偏离英语词典严格字面意义的用法,在我们关于人口的讨论中非常方便。从动词 migro 派生出 emigrate 和 IMMIGRATE; 与从 mergo 派生出 emerge 和 IMMERGE 的用法一样。因此,在本卷的某些部分,动词 IMMIGRATE 和名词 IMMIGRANT 和 IMMIGRATION 被毫不犹豫地使用。[“新罕布什尔州历史”第三卷前言,贝尔克纳普,1792年]
作为形容词的用法始于1805年。
