15世纪中叶,用于树木,意为“不结果实的,贫瘠的”,源自古法语“不结果实的”(stérile),直接源自拉丁语“贫瘠的,不结果实的; 无报答的; 无利益的”(sterilis)。
据认为,这源自原始印欧语言“缺乏的,贫瘠的”,也是梵语“贫瘠的母牛”,希腊语“贫瘠的,不育的”(用于母牛、山羊、女人),亚美尼亚语“不育的”的词源,可能最终源自词根“僵硬”(*ster- (1))。
据记载,1570年代用于土壤,意为“不适合植物生长的”。1530年代开始用于人(主要指女性)。1650年代开始用于比喻,意为“没有结果的,无益的”。1640年代开始用于文学作品等,意为“思想或表达贫乏的”。
1877年开始用于细菌学,意为“消毒的,没有活菌的”。
不育的:不能繁育后代的
无菌的,消毒的:无活菌的
