necrotomy 的詞源

"屍體解剖"，1821年； 參見 necro- "屍體" -tomy "切割"。

Necrotomy. We venture to employ this word in the room of post mortem appearances, and other incongruous expressions which deform our medical style. It is constructed on principles strictly analogous to those of the English language and ... is equivalent to the Latin sectio cadaveris, and literally signifies the dissection of a dead body; which is more appropriate than autopsia, which only signifies inspecting, viewing, contemplating by one's self. [M. Vaidy, in "The Medico-Chirurgical Review," June 1821, translated footnote]

Necrotomy。我們冒昧使用這個詞來代替 post mortem appearances 和其他醜陋的表達方式，這些方式破壞了我們的醫學風格。它的構造原則嚴格遵循英語語言的原則，...等同於拉丁語 sectio cadaveris，字面意思是死體的解剖； 這比 autopsia 更爲恰當，後者只表示自己檢查、觀察、思考。[M. Vaidy，《醫學外科評論》，1821年6月，翻譯腳註]
