perverse的词源解释,perverse来源

perverse(adj.)

14世纪晚期,“邪恶的”,来自古法语 pervers “不自然的,堕落的; 反常的,倔强的”(12世纪),直接源自拉丁语 perversus “转向,相反,歪斜”,比喻地,“远离正确的,错误的,恶意的,怨恨的”, pervertere 的过去分词“腐败”(参见 pervert(v.))。

古英语中,这个拉丁词被 forcerred 解释为“避免”,来自 forcyrran 的过去分词“避免”,来自 cierran “转向,返回”。意思是“错误的,不符合接受或标准的,远离正确的”是从1560年代开始的; “固执错误,顽固”的意义则来自1570年代。它保留了 pervert(v.)的非性感意义,并允许心理学上的意义与 perverted 一起使用。相关: Perverselyperverseness

Perverse has reference to one's attitude, in both conduct and opinion. The perverse person is settled in habit and disposition of contrariness; he not only likes or dislikes, acts or refuses to act, by the rule of contradiction to the wishes, commands, or opinions of others, especially of those whom he ought to consider, but be is likely even to take pains to do or say that which he knows to be offensive or painful to them. Perversity may be found in a child, but it is so settled an element of character as to be rather the mark of an adult. [Century Dictionary]
Perverse 与一个人的态度有关,包括行为和观点。perverse 的人在反对的习惯和性格方面已经定型; 他不仅喜欢或不喜欢,行动或拒绝行动,按照与他应该考虑的人的愿望、命令或意见相矛盾的规则,而且他甚至可能会费力去做或说他知道会冒犯或痛苦他们的事情。 Perversity 可能存在于一个孩子身上,但它是如此固定的性格要素,以至于更像是成年人的标志。[世纪词典]
