terminology 的詞源

“在科学或学科中集体使用的术语系统；”最初也指“术语正确使用的理论或教学”，1770年，来自德语 Terminologie，由耶拿大学诗歌与修辞学教授Christian Gottfried Schütz（1747-1832）创造，源自中世纪拉丁语 terminus “词，表达”（参见 terminus）+ 来自希腊语 -logia “处理，讲述”（参见 -logy）的第二部分。相关词： Terminological（德语 terminologisch）； terminologically。

Decandolle and others use the term Glossology instead of Terminology, to avoid the blemish of a word compounded of two parts taken from different languages. The convenience of treating the termination ology (and a few other parts of compounds) as not restricted to Greek combinations, is so great, that I shall venture, in these cases, to disregard this philological scruple. [William Whewell, "The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences," 1847]

Decandolle和其他人使用术语 Glossology 代替 Terminology，以避免一个由来自不同语言的两个部分组合而成的词的瑕疵。将词尾 ology（以及其他一些复合词的部分）视为不限于希腊语组合的便利性是如此之大，以至于我将在这些情况下冒险无视这个语言学顾虑。[William Whewell, "The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences," 1847]
