“敌人,憎恶并有意伤害(某人)”起源于13世纪早期,来自古法语 enemi(12世纪,现代法语 ennemi),更早地来自9世纪的 inimi,表示“敌人,对手,恶魔,魔鬼”,源自拉丁语 inimicus,“敌人”,字面意思为“不友好的人”,名词用法意为“敌对的,不友好的”(同源词还有意大利语 nemico 、加泰罗尼亚语 enamic 、西班牙语 enemigo 和葡萄牙语 inimigo),由 in- “无”(见 in-(1))和与 amare “爱”(见 Amy)相关的 amicus “朋友”的词源构成。从公元1300年开始,用于表示“上帝的对手、不信者、异教徒、反基督教者”,14世纪晚期用于“魔鬼”,也用于14世纪晚期的“参加战争、世仇等中的武装团体的成员”,指对立的军队总体,自公元1600年以来,还用作形容词。
大多数印欧语系中,“个人敌人”的词汇也包括“战争中的敌人”,但某些语言对后者有着专门的词汇,例如希腊语 polemioi(不同于 ekhthroi)、拉丁语 hostis,最初表示“陌生人”(不同于 inimicus)、俄语 neprijatel'(不同于 vrag)。俄语 vrag(古教会斯拉夫语 vragu)与立陶宛语 vargas “痛苦”(参见 urge(v.)),可能与原始日耳曼语 *wargoz 有关,老挝斯语 vargr “亡命之徒”,因而被称为“狼”,冰岛斯语 vargur “狐狸”,古英语 wearg “罪犯,重罪犯”,很可能是 J.R.R.托尔金所著的《霍比特人》(1937)和《指环王》中“狼”种类大型凶猛的动物名 warg 的灵感来源。相关词汇: Enemies。
