despotism 的詞源
despotism(n.)
1751年,“絕對權力,無限制和無限制的權威”,源自法語 despotisme; 參見 despot + -ism。到1794年,它成爲“基於任意政府的政治制度”。
Tyranny is the abuse of absolute power, legal or usurped, and implies oppression. Despotism, in its earlier and still frequent meaning, does not necessarily imply either regard or disregard for the welfare of the subject; but there is also a tendency to give it essentially the same meaning as tyranny, using absolutism or autocracy where an unfavorable meaning is not intended. [Century Dictionary, 1897]
Tyranny 是對絕對權力的濫用,無論是合法的還是篡奪的,都意味着壓迫。 Despotism 在其早期和仍然頻繁的意義上,並不一定意味着對受衆福利的關注或漠視; 但也有一種傾向,將其本質上賦予與 tyranny 完全相同的含義,在不打算使用不利含義的情況下使用 absolutism 或 autocracy。[世紀詞典,1897]
