词汇 | caesarian |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1923, shortening of Cæsarian section (1615); supposedly from Caius Julius Cæsar, who was said to have been delivered surgically, thus legend traces his cognomen to L. cæsus pp. of cædere "to cut." But if this is the etymology of the name, it was likely an ancestor who was so born (Caesar's mother lived to see his triumphs and such operations were always fatal to the woman in ancient times). And Pliny derives his cognomen from cæsaries "hair," since the future dictator was born with a full head of it. Cæsarian section may come directly from cæsus. |
