immigrant 的詞源
immigrant(n.)
"移民者",1792年,美國英語,可能基於法語 immigrant,源自拉丁語 immigrantem(主格 immigrans),現在分詞 immigrare “移除,進入,搬進”(見 immigrate)。Emigrant 更早。最初用於傑里米·貝爾克納普(Jeremy Belknap)的新罕布什爾州歷史著作中,他通常被認爲是創造這個詞的人。
There is another deviation from the strict letter of the English dictionaries; which is found extremely convenient in our discourses on population. From the verb migro are derived emigrate and IMMIGRATE; with the same propriety as from mergo are derived emerge and IMMERGE. Accordingly the verb IMMIGRATE and the nouns IMMIGRANT and IMMIGRATION are used without scruple in some parts of this volume. [Preface to vol. III of "The History of New Hampshire," Belknap, 1792]
還有一種偏離英語詞典嚴格字面意義的用法,在我們關於人口的討論中非常方便。從動詞 migro 派生出 emigrate 和 IMMIGRATE; 與從 mergo 派生出 emerge 和 IMMERGE 的用法一樣。因此,在本卷的某些部分,動詞 IMMIGRATE 和名詞 IMMIGRANT 和 IMMIGRATION 被毫不猶豫地使用。[“新罕布什爾州歷史”第三卷前言,貝爾克納普,1792年]
作爲形容詞的用法始於1805年。
