英文詞源
- tome
- tome: [16] Tome comes via French tome and Latin tomus from Greek tómos. This originally meant ‘slice, piece’ (it went back to the prehistoric Indo-European base *tom-, *tem- ‘cut’, which is also responsible for English temple, tonsorial [19], tonsure [14], and the surgical suffix -tomy ‘cutting’), but it was extended metaphorically to a ‘cut roll of paper’ and eventually to a ‘volume, book’.
=> temple, tonsorial, tonsure - tome (n.)
- 1510s, "a single volume of a multi-volume work," from Middle French tome (16c.), from Latin tomus "section of a book, tome," from Greek tomos "volume, section of a book," originally "a section, piece cut off," from temnein "to cut," from PIE *tem- "to cut" (cognates: second element in Latin aestimare "to value, appraise," Old Church Slavonic tina "to cleave, split," Middle Irish tamnaim "I cut off," Welsh tam "morsel"). Sense of "a large book" is attested from 1570s.
