12世纪末,“代表上帝说话的人; 预言者,受启发的传教士”,源自古法语 prophete, profete “先知,占卜者”(11世纪,现代法语 prophète),直接源自拉丁语 propheta,来自希腊语 prophētēs(多利克方言 prophatēs)“解释者,发言人,宣告者; 先驱”(如夏天的蝉),尤指“代表上帝说话的人,受启发的传教士或教师”,源自 pro “之前”(源自 PIE 词根 *per-(1)“向前”,因此“在前面,在之前”)+ phanai 的词根“说话”(源自 PIE 词根 *bha-(2)“说话,告诉,说”)。
希腊词在七十士译本中用于希伯来语 nabj “占卜者,受启发的先知”。早期的拉丁作家用拉丁语 vates 翻译希腊语 prophetes,但在后古典时期,拉丁化的形式 propheta 占主导地位,主要是由于基督教作家的影响,可能是因为 vates 的异教联系。在英语中,指“旧约圣经的预言作家”始于14世纪末。非宗教意义始于1848年; 用于穆罕默德始于17世纪10年代(翻译阿拉伯语 al-nabiy,有时也翻译为 al-rasul,正确意为“使者”)。古英语中,这个拉丁词被 witga 解释。14世纪末开始使用 The Prophets 指“旧约圣经的预言书籍”。
Middle English prophete, borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French, borrowed from Latin prophēta "spokesman or interpreter of a god" (Late Latin also prophētēs "revealer of God's will, foreteller of future events"), borrowed from Greek prophḗtēs "one who interprets the will of a god to humans, interpreter," (Septuagint) "revealer of God's will," (New Testament) "inspired preacher and teacher, foreteller of future events," from pro- pro- >entry 1 + phē-, stem of phēmí, phánai "to speak, say" + -tēs, agent suffix — more at ban >entry 1 Note: A few attestations in late Old English, apparently declined as a weak noun, are directly from Latin.
The first known use of prophet was in the 12th century
