源自12世纪中叶,意为“上帝的奇妙作为”,来自古法语miracle(11世纪)“奇迹,奇迹的故事,奇迹剧”,源自拉丁语miraculum“让人惊奇的物体”(在教会拉丁语中是“由上帝造成的不可思议的事件”),来自mirari“对…感到惊奇,赞叹,大为震惊”,比喻地“尊重,重视”,来自mirus“奇妙,惊人,令人赞叹的”,更早形式为*smeiros,源自原始印欧语*smei-“微笑,笑”(也是梵语smerah“微笑”,希腊语meidan“微笑”,古教会斯拉夫语smejo“笑”)的来源;见smile(动词))。拉丁词源也是西班牙语milagro,意大利语miracolo的来源。
从13世纪中叶开始,作为“令人惊奇或震惊的事物,非凡或卓越的壮举”,而与神性或超自然力量无关。它取代了古英语中的wundortacen, wundorweorc。在英语圣经中被翻译为miracle的希腊语词汇是semeion“标志”,teras“奇观”,和dynamis“力量”,在武加大译本中分别被翻译为signum、prodigium和virtus。
Miracle-drug最早见于1939年(指的是磺胺类药物)。Miracle-worker“行神迹的人”源自16世纪60年代(中古英语有mircleour,大约15世纪初)。Miracle-play“中世纪关于基督、圣人或其他圣事题材的戏剧表演”可以追溯到1744年(miraclis pleynge出现于约1400年)。调味品Miracle Whip由卡夫食品在1933年推出;这个名字最初是给予制造这种产品的专利机器的。
Middle English, borrowed from Anglo-French, borrowed from Late Latin mīrāculum, going back to Latin, "something amazing, marvel," from mīrārī "to be surprised, look with wonder at" + -culum, suffix of instrument (going back to Indo-European *-tlom) — more at admire
The first known use of miracle was in the 12th century
