prolicide 的词源
prolicide(n.)
“杀害自己的孩子”,这个词最早出现在1824年,由约翰·戈登·史密斯博士在其《法医学原理》第二版中引入。它源自拉丁语 proles,意为“后代”(参见 prolific),加上 -cide,表示“杀戮”。
It is hoped that this word will be considered entitled to reception, on the score of analogy. We have long had parricide, fratricide, and infanticide, all (if I may use the figure of speech,) of the same family; and recently the very appropriate term foeticide has been introduced into Forensic Medicine. In both these last crimes there is a peculiarity arising from the person accused being, in almost every instance, the parent .... In this relation to the beings destroyed, the general term of murderer, or murder of offspring seems to be the fair converse of parricide; and will suit well the purpose of the Medico-legal writer, who considers the two cases as parts of one subject, for the designation of which collectively a proper term was wanting. [Smith]
希望这个词能因类比而被接受。我们早已有 parricide(弑亲罪)、fratricide(弑兄弟罪)和 infanticide(弑婴罪),这些词(如果我可以这样比喻)都属于同一家族;最近,在法医学中还引入了非常恰当的术语 foeticide(堕胎罪)。在这两种罪行中,有一个独特之处,那就是被指控者几乎总是父母……在这些被杀害者与杀害者的关系中,使用“谋杀者”或“杀害后代”的一般术语,似乎是 parricide 的合理对应;这也很适合那些将这两种情况视为一个主题的法医学作者,因为他们需要一个合适的词汇来共同描述这一主题,而之前缺乏这样的术语。[史密斯]
