exorcise 驅(qū)魔來自希臘語。ex-, 向外。horkos, 發(fā)誓，念咒。即念咒驅(qū)逐邪靈。比較conjure.
英文詞源
- exorcise (v.)
- c. 1400, "to invoke spirits," from Old French exorciser (14c.), from Late Latin exorcizare, from Greek exorkizein "banish an evil spirit; bind by oath" (see exorcism). Sense of "call up evil spirits to drive them out" became dominant 16c. Formerly also exorcize; a rare case where -ise trumps -ize on both sides of the Atlantic, perhaps due to influence of exercise. Related: Exorcised; exorcising.
