14世纪晚期,“以愉快结局为主题的故事; 任何旨在娱乐的作品”,源自14世纪的法语 comedie “一首诗歌”(并非戏剧意义上的诗歌),直接源自拉丁语 comoedia,希腊语 kōmōidia “喜剧; 娱乐表演”,可能源自 kōmōidos “狂欢节中的演员或歌手”,源自 kōmos “狂欢、狂欢、欢乐的庆祝活动” 和 aoidos “歌手、诗人”,源自 aeidein “唱歌”,与 ōidē 相关(请参见 ode)。
The passage on the nature of comedy in the Poetic of Aristotle is unfortunately lost, but if we can trust stray hints on the subject, his definition of comedy (which applied mainly to Menander) ran parallel to that of tragedy, and described the art as a purification of certain affections of our nature, not by terror and pity, but by laughter and ridicule. [Rev. J.P. Mahaffy, "A History of Classical Greek Literature," London, 1895]
亚里士多德《Poetic》中关于喜剧本质的内容不幸丢失了,但如果我们可以信任这个主题的零星提示,他对喜剧的定义(主要适用于梅南德)与悲剧相似,并将艺术描述为我们本性中某些情感的净化,不是通过恐惧和怜悯,而是通过笑声和嘲笑。 【J.P. Mahaffy 牧师,“古典希腊文学史”,伦敦,1895】
希腊 komos 的起源不确定; 也许它源自一个 IE *komso- “赞扬”,并与梵语 samsa “赞扬、判断”有联系。Beekes 建议这是古希腊语之前的语言。不再认为该词源于 kome “村庄”的旧词源。
该词的古典意义是“以愉快结局为主题的娱乐表演或表演”,这与现代的意义类似,但在中世纪,该文字指的是一般的诗歌和故事(尽管有愉快的结局),例如但丁的 "Commedia."。文艺复兴16世纪恢复了古代的喜剧并将该词的意思转变为“以幽默和荒谬为主要目的的戏剧作品”(与 tragedy 相对)。在18世纪,这在某种程度上受限于“幽默但不是非常滑稽的戏剧”(与 farce 相对)。
Comedy aims at entertaining by the fidelity with which it presents life as we know it, farce at raising laughter by the outrageous absurdity of the situation or characters exhibited, & burlesque at tickling the fancy of the audience by caricaturing plays or actors with whose style it is familiar. [Fowler]
Comedy 旨在通过表现我们所知道的生活的忠实度来娱乐, farce 旨在通过展示的场景或人物的令人震惊的荒谬性来引起笑声, burlesque 旨在通过描绘它熟悉的戏剧或演员来引起观众的兴趣。 【Fowler】
“喜剧戏剧”意为1550年代(英语中第一部现代喜剧被称为尼古拉斯·乌德尔的“Roister Doister”)。广义的“生活中幽默或滑稽事件或事件”的意思为1560年代。一般化的“幽默特质”的意思始于1877年。
