英文詞源
- sculpture
- sculpture: [14] Latin sculpere meant ‘carve, scratch’ (it was a variant of scalpere, from which English gets scalpel [18]). From is past participle sculptus was formed the noun sculptūra, acquired by English as sculpture. The agent noun sculptor [17] also comes from Latin, while the verb sculpt [19] was borrowed from French sculpter.
=> scalpel - sculpture (n.)
- late 14c., from Latin sculptura "sculpture," from past participle stem of sculpere "to carve, engrave," back-formation from compounds such as exculpere, from scalpere "to carve, cut," from PIE root *(s)kel- (1) "to cut, cleave" (see scale (n.1)).
