Middle English eunuk 中古英语 eunuk 2. from Latin eun&9{¿chus} 源自 拉丁语 eun&9{¿chus} 3. from Greek eunoukhos 源自 希腊语 eunoukhos 4. eun¶ [bed] eun¶ [床] 5. -okhos [keeping] from ekhein [to keep] * see segh- -okhos [保留的] 源自 ekhein [保留] *参见 segh- 继承用法:eu“nuchism n.（名词）注释:The wordeunuch does not derive, as one might think, from the operation that produced a eunuch but rather from one of his functions. Eunuch goes back to the Greek wordeunoukhos, “a castrated person employed to take charge of the women of a harem and act as chamberlain.”The Greek word is derived fromeun¶, “bed,” and ekhein, “to keep.” A eunuch, of course, was ideally suited to guard the bedchamber of women.eunuch 这个词不象人们所想的那样源自于阉人的手术， 而是源自于它所起的作用。 Eunuch 可追溯到古希腊的词eunoukhos ， 意为“一个负责侍候后宫女眷，并作为国王内侍的被阉割了的人”。古希腊的词源出于eune， 意为“床”，和 ekhein “照料”， 一个太监当然是保卫女眷卧室的最理想的人 |
