约1200年, relik,“由于与圣人有关而受到尊敬或喜爱的身体部位或其他物品”,源自于古法语 relique, relike(11世纪,复数 reliques),源自于晚期拉丁语 reliquiæ(复数)“殉道者的遗骸”,在古典拉丁语中是“遗骸,残余”的名词用法,来自于 reliquus 的女性复数形式“剩余的,剩下的”。
这与 relinquere(完成时 reliqui)“留下,放弃,抛弃,放弃”有关,来自于 re- “向后”(参见 re-) + linquere “离开”(来自于 PIE *linkw-, *leikw- “离开”的鼻化形式)。古英语直接使用拉丁语 reliquias。
“遗骸,残余,失去或毁灭其余部分后剩下的东西”的一般意义可追溯到14世纪早期。意思是“作为纪念品保留的东西”可追溯到约1600年。到了1590年代,这个词已经发展出了它的弱化意义,即“任何因其与遥远过去的联系而变得有趣的东西”。到了1580年代,“某些实践、思想等的幸存痕迹”; 因此, relic of barbarism(1809年)“(不良)旧习俗或状况的幸存痕迹”。
Middle English relik, from Anglo-French relike, from Medieval Latin reliquia, from Late Latin reliquiae, plural, remains of a martyr, from Latin, remains, from relinquere to leave behind — more at relinquish
The first known use of relic was in the 13th century
