中文詞源
proletarian 無產(chǎn)者，無產(chǎn)階級來自拉丁語proletarius,最低等級公民，來自proles,子孫，后代。因在古羅馬時期，這一社會等級的公民免除兵役及稅收，他們存在的唯一價值就是向古羅馬帝國新開拓的領地移民以開發(fā)。具體參照class詞源。后被借用于指無產(chǎn)階級，無產(chǎn)者。
英文詞源
- proletarian
- proletarian: [17] A Roman citizen of the lowest class was termed a prōlētārius. The only service he was capable of performing for the state was that of producing children, to maintain its population level, and it was this function that gave the prōlētārius his name. For it was derived from prōlēs ‘offspring’, a word based on the same source (*ol- ‘nourish’) as produced English adolescent, alimony, etc.
The abbreviation prole dates back to the late 19th century (George Bernard Shaw is the first writer on record as using it), but it was George Orwell in the 1930s who firmly established the term. The immediate source of proletariat [19] is French prolétariat (in the 19th century it was often anglicized to proletariate). English is also indebted to Latin prōlēs for prolific [17], which comes from the medieval Latin derivative prōlificus ‘producing offspring’.
=> adolescent, alimentary, alimony, prolific - proletarian
- 1650s (n.) "member of the lowest class;" 1660s (adj.) "of the lowest class of people;" with -ian + Latin proletarius "citizen of the lowest class" (as an adjective, "relating to offspring"), in ancient Rome, propertyless people, exempted from taxes and military service, who served the state only by having children; from proles "offspring, progeny" (see prolific).
