词根:obit
adj.obituary 讣告的;死亡的
n.obituary 讣告
14世纪末,“死亡”,这个意义现已过时,源自古法语 obit 或直接源自中世纪拉丁语 obitus “死亡”(一种比喻用法,字面意思是“下降,去一个地方”),是拉丁语 obire “死亡”的过去分词的名词用法(参见 obituary)。
从15世纪开始,“一个人的死亡周年纪念日; 在一个人的死亡周年纪念日举行的追悼会”。在现代用法中(自1874年起),它通常是 obituary, 的缩写,尽管在15世纪至17世纪它具有“发布死亡通知”的相同意义。学术上的缩写 ob. 与日期来自拉丁语 obiit “(他)死了”,是 obire 的第三人称单数形式。
