Septembrist 的詞源

1798年，指法國曆史上參與1792年9月2日至5日巴黎政治犯大屠殺的暴民。在法語中， Septembriseur，因此英語中是 Septembriser（1797）。因此， septembrize 也意爲“在拘留期間暗殺”（1793）。

Roland writes indignant messages, in the name of Order, Humanity and the Law; but there is no Force at his disposal. Santerre's National Force seems lazy to rise : though he made requisitions, he says,—which always dispersed again. Nay did not we, with Advocate Maton's eyes, see "men in uniform" too, with their "sleeves bloody to the shoulder"? Pétion goes in tricolor scarf; speaks "the austere language of the law:" the killers give up, while he is there; when his back is turned recommence. [Carlyle, "The French Revolution"]

羅蘭以秩序、人道和法律的名義寫下憤怒的信息，但他沒有可支配的力量。桑特爾的國民力量似乎懶得起來：儘管他進行了徵用，但他說，這總是會再次散開。難道我們沒有看到“穿制服的人”也有“袖子沾滿了血跡”嗎？佩蒂翁戴着三色圍巾，講述“法律的嚴肅語言”：當他在場時，殺手們放棄了； 當他背過身去時，他們又重新開始了。[卡萊爾，《法國大革命》]
