mortuary 的詞源
mortuary(n.)
14世紀末, mortuarie,“教區居民死亡時應向牧師支付的慣例禮物”,源自盎格魯-法語 mortuarie(14世紀早期),源自中世紀拉丁語 mortuarium,中性形容詞 mortuarius 的名詞用法,“與死亡有關”,源自拉丁語 mortuus, mori 的過去分詞,“死亡”(來自 PIE 詞根 *mer-,“磨損,傷害”,也是“死亡”和形成與死亡和死亡相關的詞彙)。
Selden says that the usage anciently was, bringing the mortuary along with the corpse when it came to be buried, and to offer it to the church as a satisfaction for the supposed negligence and omissions the defunct had been guilty of, in not paying his personal tithes; and from thence it was called a corse-present; a term which bespeaks it to have been once a voluntary donation. [Sir Thomas Edlyne Tomlins, "The Law Dictionary," London, 1835]
Selden 說,古代的用法是,在屍體被埋葬時將喪禮隨身攜帶,並將其作爲一種補償,獻給教堂,以彌補死者未支付個人什一稅的疏忽和遺漏; 從那時起,它被稱爲 corse-present; 這個術語表明它曾經是一種自願捐贈。[托馬斯·埃德林·湯姆林斯爵士,《法律詞典》,倫敦,1835年]
從15世紀中期開始,“葬禮服務”的意思。記錄於1865年的“死者暫時存放的地方”是早期 deadhouse 的委婉說法。
