witch英英释义

noun

a person (especially a woman) who is credited with having usually malignant supernatural powers Once upon a time the horror story was content to deal with things that go shriek in the night, with mad scientists, leering zombies, monsters, ghosts, witches, vampires and damsels in distress.—Eliot Fremont-Smith Fairy tale witches (not to be confused with our chic Wicca sisters) are rude, with a tendency to cackle at the misfortunes of others.—The New York Times Book Review … many Russian fairy tales tell of Baba Yaga, an old witch who flies around in a pestle and mortar and lives in a house that walks around on chicken legs.—Molly Barker

The modern visual image of the "folklore" witch, made popular by the film representation of the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz (1939), is an old hag with a hooked nose and a mole, wearing a pointed hat and flowing robes, and flying on a broomstick.—Donald Haase

a woman who is believed to practice usually black (see black entry 1 sense 7) magic often with the aid of a devil or familiar : sorceressNote: This meaning of witch is commonly encountered in contexts relating to historical Christian religious beliefs about witches and witchcraft. My interest centers on the religious reasons for the persecution of women as witches in early America.—Elizabeth Reis But a common charge against [17th-century] English witches, though much less often raised against their Continental counterparts, was that they kept 'familiars'—imps or demons in the form usually of small animals such as dogs, cats and toads …—Geoffrey Scarre compare warlock

Belief in the Devil was very strong in the medieval Church and witchcraft was regarded as heresy. Suspected witches were subjected to the Inquisition.—Eileen Rennison

or less commonly Witch a practitioner of witchcraft (see witchcraft sense 3) especially in adherence with a neo-pagan tradition or religion (such as Wicca) Being a witch … in the world today can entail anything from being a practitioner of Wicca, a religion founded in the 20th century, to practicing any number of neo-pagan traditions. Not all self-identified witches are Wiccan, and not all Pagans would describe themselves as witches.—Antonia Blumberg It has nothing to do with satanism, warts or hexes. I know, because I am a Wiccan priestess—a real Witch, not the fairy-tale stereotype.—Sue McCaskill It [The World of Witches Museum] is in fact a celebration of Witches, Wiccans and Pagans.—PRWeb.com

While modern witches do believe in the ability to harness the forces of nature, Wicca has nothing to do with Satan, or evil spells.—Larry Potash

a mean or ugly old woman : hag, crone She has a wrinkled-up and wizened personage—she must have been eighty—and as she mumbled the grim story through her toothless gums, she seemed a very old witch to them.—Upton Sinclair

"You old witch," she sputtered. "You always hated me, you did …"—Katherine Stanley

witch词源中文解释

古英语中的 wicce 指的是“女巫，巫婆”，后来尤指“一位被认为与魔鬼或邪灵有联系，并能通过他们的合作进行超自然行为的女人”，是古英语中 wicca 的女性形式，该词指的是“巫师，行巫术或魔法的人”，源自动词 wiccian “行巫术”（与低地德语 wikken 、wicken “使用巫术”， wikker 、wicker “占卜者”相似）。

OED 称其起源不确定； Liberman 表示“关于 witch 的提出的词源学解释都存在语音或语义上的困难。”Klein 认为它与古英语 wigle “占卜”和 wig, wih “偶像”有关。Watkins 表示这些名词代表了原始日耳曼语中的 *wikkjaz “巫术师”（唤醒死者的人），源自 PIE *weg-yo-，源自 PIE 词根 *weg- “强壮，活跃”。

这表明 wicce 曾经比后来的“女巫，巫婆”一词具有更具体的意义，这可能是因为古英语中存在其他描述更具体的魔法技艺的词语。在阿尔弗雷德法典（约890年）中，巫术被特别指定为女性的技艺，其从业者不得居住在西撒克逊人中间：

Ða fæmnan þe gewuniað onfon gealdorcræftigan & scinlæcan & wiccan, ne læt þu ða libban.

“不要让那些从事巫术、巫术和女巫的女人活着。”

这里与之结合的另外两个词是 gealdricge，指从事“咒语”的女人，和 scinlæce “女巫，女巫师”，源自一个意为“幽灵，邪灵”的词根。

在盎格鲁-撒克逊法律中出现的另一个词是 lyblæca “巫师，巫术师”，但其中含有对药物使用技巧的暗示，因为该词的词根是 lybb “药物，毒药，魅力”（参见 leaf（名词））。Lybbestre 是一个指“女巫”的女性词，而 lybcorn 是一种特定的药用种子的名称（可能是野生藏红花）。Weekley 指出它可能与哥特语 weihs “神圣”和德语 weihan “祝圣”有关，并写道，“被压制宗教的祭司自然会成为其继任者或对手的巫师。”无论英语单词的起源如何，用“毒药师”一词来指代“女巫，巫婆”与利未记中用于谴责“女巫，巫婆”的希伯来语单词的用法相似。

在盎格鲁-撒克逊的词汇表中， wicca 翻译为拉丁语 augur（约1100年），而 wicce 则代表“女巫， divinatricem”。在《科隆的三个国王》（约1400年）中， wicca 翻译为 Magi ：

Þe paynyms ... cleped þe iij kyngis Magos, þat is to seye wicchis.

“异教徒...称之为 iij kyngis Magos，即女巫。”

该词汇表用 galdre, wiccecræft 翻译了拉丁语 necromantia（"demonum invocatio"）。盎格鲁-撒克逊的诗歌《Men's Crafts》（也称为《Men's Gifts》）中出现了 wiccræft，它似乎是同一个词，根据上下文的意思是“对马的技巧”。在约1250年的《出埃及记》翻译中， witches 用于拯救希伯来人新生儿的埃及助产士：““巫婆们把他们藏起来，法老不允许他们存在。”

与男性相关的 Witch 在方言中一直存在到20世纪，但到1601年，女性形式 men-witches 或 he-witch 开始使用。早在15世纪初，“老，丑陋，脾气暴躁或恶毒的女人”的扩展意义就已经出现；而“年轻女人或具有迷人外貌或举止的女孩”的意义则首次记录于1740年。Witch doctor 最早出现于1718年；从1836年开始用于非洲巫师。

At this day it is indifferent to say in the English tongue, 'she is a witch,' or 'she is a wise woman.' [Reginald Scot, "The Discoverie of Witchcraft," 1584]

“在英语中，如今说‘她是女巫’或‘她是聪明的女人’都是可以的。”[雷金纳德·斯科特，《巫术的发现》，1584年]
