Scientology(n.)
1951年,由美国作家 L. Ron Hubbard(1911-1986)创立的一种信仰体系; 这是他创造的一个混合词。在《科学的基础》(1952年,The Hubbard Association of Scientologists Inc.)一书中,哈伯德描述了他创造这个词的思路:
"Scientology" is a new word which names a new science. It is formed from the Latin word, "scio", which means KNOW, or DISTINGUISH, being related to the word "scindo", which means CLEAVE. (Thus, the idea of differentiation is strongly implied.) It is formed from the Greek word "logos", which means THE WORD or OUTWARD FORM BY WHICH THE INWARD THOUGHT IS EXPRESSED AND MADE KNOWN: also, THE INWARD THOUGHT or REASON ITSELF. Thus, SCIENTOLOGY means KNOWING ABOUT KNOWING, or SCIENCE OF KNOWLEDGE.
“Scientology”是一个新词,它命名了一门新科学。它由拉丁词“scio”(意为“知道”或“区分”,与“scindo”(意为“分裂”)有关)和希腊词“logos”(意为“言语、陈述、演讲”,也指“计算、账目”,还指“理性”)组成。因此,“SCIENTOLOGY”意味着“知道知识”或“知识科学”。
它的元素是拉丁语 scire “知道”(参见 science)和希腊语 logos “言语、演讲、陈述”,也指“计算、账目”,还指“理性”,源自 PIE *log-o-,是 *leg-(1)“收集、聚集”的带后缀形式,派生词意为“说话”,意为“挑选单词”。德语中也有 scientologie(A. Nordenholz,1937)。相关词: Scientologist。
