immaculate conception[宗]无沾成胎说;圣灵感孕说
15世纪中期,“没有精神或道德污染,纯洁”,来自拉丁语 immaculatus 的比喻用法,“未被玷污”,来自 in- “不,相反的”(见 in-(1))和 maculatus “有斑点的,被污染的”的同化形式,过去分词 maculare “弄脏”,来自 macula “斑点,污点”,一个起源不明的词。英语中“一尘不染或整洁无瑕”的字面意义首次出现于1735年。相关: Immaculately。
短语 Immaculate Conception “圣母玛利亚在母亲的子宫中受孕时没有原罪的自由”最早出现在15世纪晚期的英语中(来自法语 conception immaculée); 这个想法自12世纪以来一直在教会中争论,于1854年被宣布为信仰的一部分。
