词汇 | academe |
词根词缀 | 词源: "The Academy," 1580s, from phrase the groves of Academe, translating Horace's silvas Academi (see academy); general sense of "the world of universities and scholarship" is attested from 1849. Academia in the sense of "academic community" is from 1956. "Academe properly means Academus (a Greek hero); & its use as a poetic variant for academy, though sanctioned by Shakespeare, Tennyson & Lowell, is a mistake; the grove of A., however, (Milton) means rightly The Academy." [Fowler] |
