augur well预示吉利(凶兆)
"古罗马的一种官员,其职责是观察和解释有关未来事件的吉兆或自然迹象," 1540年代,源自拉丁语 augur,是古罗马的一位宗教官员,也许最初的意思是“通过仪式增加庄稼的产量”,如果是这样,那么它可能来自古拉丁语 *augos(属格 *augeris)“增加”,并与 augere “增加”有关(源自 PIE 词根 *aug-(1)“增加”)。
更流行的理论是它来自拉丁语 avis “鸟”,因为鸟的飞行、歌唱和进食是重要的占卜对象(比较 auspex)。在这种情况下,第二个元素将来自 garrire “说话”。相关的: Augural; augurial。
These auspices were studied, with a fixed ceremonial, in the following classes of phenomena: (1) signs from the heavens, including thunder and lightning, and other meteorological manifestations; (2) signs from the direction of flight or the various cries of birds; (3) signs from the manner of eating of domestic hens kept for this purpose; (4) signs from the movements and attitudes of animals; (5) evil omens from various fortuitous incidents, such as the fall of any object, the gnawing of a mouse, the creaking of a chair, etc., occurring during the augural ceremonies or when these were about to begin. [Century Dictionary]
这些吉兆是通过固定的仪式研究的,包括:(1)来自天空的迹象,包括雷电和其他气象现象; (2)来自鸟类飞行方向或各种叫声的迹象; (3)来自专门饲养的家禽进食方式的迹象; (4)来自动物的动作和态度的迹象; (5)来自各种偶然事件的不祥征兆,例如物体的掉落、老鼠的啃咬、椅子的吱吱声等,这些事件发生在占卜仪式期间或即将开始时。[世纪词典]
Noun Middle English augurre, augure, borrowed from Middle French & Latin; Middle French augure, borrowed from Latin augur, perhaps going back to *aug-u-s "the increased, one who receives the signs of increase," noun derivative of an s-stem adjective *aug-u-s "increased, grown," derivative of a u-stem adjective *aug-u- with the same sense, derivative from the base of augeō, augēre "to increase, make greater, heighten" — more at eke >entry 2 Note: Though a connection has long been sought between the noun augur and the verb augēre, as well as with the adjective augustus "solemn, venerable" (see august), the semantic and morphological details are elusive. The above etymology was proposed by Michael Weiss in "Observations of the Prehistory of Latin augur," Alessandria 5 (2011), Atti del Convegno Internazionale … in memoriam Helmut Rix, pp. 365-79. As a morphological point of comparison for the derivation of augur, Weiss points to Latin vetus, veteris "old, veteran," which, if derived from an original u-stem adjective *u̯etu-, could be plausibly linked to Lithuanian vẽtušas and Old Church Slavic vetŭxŭ, both meaning "old." Verb borrowed from Middle French & Latin; Middle French augurer, borrowed from Latin augurāre, augurārī "to foretell by augury, take auspices, prophesy, predict," derivative of augur augur >entry 1
The first known use of augur was in the 14th century
