語源
anathemaは呪い、破門、呪われた者を意味する。ギリシャ語の接頭辞ana-はonと同義語でupを意味し、語根the-は置くを意味し、接尾辞-maは動作の対象や結果を意味する。アナテマはもともと、略奪した敵の物を神殿(または祭壇)の上に置くことによって敵を呪うことを指していた。歴史上最も有名なアナテマは、1054年にキリスト教の大分裂を引き起こした東ローマ帝国と西ローマ帝国の教会の相互破門である。
英語の語源
- anathema
- anathema: [16] Originally in Greek anáthēma was a ‘votive offering’ (it was a derivative of the compound verb anatithénai ‘set up, dedicate’, formed from the prefix ana- ‘up’ and the verb tithénai ‘place’, source of English theme and related to English do). But from being broadly ‘anything offered up for religious purposes’, the word gradually developed negative associations of ‘something dedicated to evil’; and by the time it reached Latin it meant ‘curse’ or ‘accursed person’.
=> do, theme - anathema (n.)
- 1520s, "an accursed thing," from Latin anathema "an excommunicated person; the curse of excommunication," from Greek anathema "a thing accursed," originally "a thing devoted," literally "a thing set up (to the gods)," from ana- "up" (see ana-) + tithenai "to put, place" (see theme).
Originally simply a votive offering, by the time it reached Latin the meaning had progressed through "thing devoted to evil," to "thing accursed or damned." Later applied to persons and the Divine Curse. Meaning "formal act or formula of consigning to damnation" is from 1610s.
Anathema maranatha, taken as an intensified form, is a misreading of the Syriac maran etha "the Lord hath come," which follows anathema in I Cor. xvi:22, but is not connected with it (see Maranatha).
