artiste(n.)
“艺术中不被视为美术之一的某种艺术技能的熟练者; 将自己的职业视为一门艺术的人”,1819年在英语中被证明,从1804年开始作为法语单词在英语中使用,来自法语 artiste; 是 artist 的英语再借用,起初在外国语境中使用,后来用于填补 artist 的意义已经限制于视觉艺术,尤其是绘画之后的空白。
Artiste: an admirable word (albeit somewhat Frenchified) of late applied, with nice discrimination, to every species of exhibitor, from a rope-dancer down to a mere painter or sculptor. On looking into little Entick (my great authority in these matters), I find we have already the word artist; but with stupid English perversity, we have hitherto used that in a much more restricted sense than its newly-imported rival, which it is becoming the excellent fashion to adopt. ["Paul Pry's Journal of a Residence at Little-Pedlington," Philadelphia, 1836]
Artiste :一个令人钦佩的词(尽管有些法国化),最近被细致地应用于各种展示者,从绳舞者到仅仅的画家或雕塑家。在查看小恩蒂克(我在这些事情上的权威)时,我发现我们已经有了 artist 这个词; 但是由于愚蠢的英国顽固性,我们迄今为止一直在比其新引进的竞争对手更加限制了它的使用范围,而这个竞争对手正在成为优秀的时尚。[“保罗·普赖在小佩德灵顿的居住日记”,费城,1836年]
