reliability(n.)
"可靠的狀態或品質",1816年,柯勒律治創造,由 reliable 和 -ity 組成。在統計學中,自1910年起。
[Coleridge] evades the only charge brought against [Southey], by repelling one not brought against him, except by his Antijacobin patrons—and answers for his friend, as if he was playing at cross-purposes. Some people say, that Mr Southey has deserted the cause of liberty : Mr Coleridge tells us, that he has not separated from his wife. They say, that he has changed his opinions : Mr Coleridge says, that he keeps his appointments ; and has even invented a new word, reliability, to express his exemplariness in this particular. [from a review of "Biographia Literaria" in Edinburgh Review, August 1817]
“(柯勒律治)迴避了(南錫)唯一的指控,卻反駁了一個除了他的反雅各賓贊助人以外沒有人提出的指控,並且像在玩猜謎遊戲一樣爲他的朋友辯護。有些人說南錫先生背叛了自由的事業:柯勒律治先生告訴我們,他沒有和他的妻子分開。他們說他改變了自己的觀點:柯勒律治先生說,他按時赴約; 甚至發明了一個新詞 reliability,來表達他在這方面的典範。”(引自1817年8月《愛丁堡評論》對《文學傳記》的評論)
