reliability 的词源
reliability(n.)
“可靠性”这个词的意思是“可靠的状态或特性”,最早出现在1816年,科尔律治在此使用了 reliable(可靠的)和 -ity(名词后缀)组合而成。到了1910年,这个词在统计学中开始流行。
[Coleridge] evades the only charge brought against [Southey], by repelling one not brought against him, except by his Antijacobin patrons—and answers for his friend, as if he was playing at cross-purposes. Some people say, that Mr Southey has deserted the cause of liberty : Mr Coleridge tells us, that he has not separated from his wife. They say, that he has changed his opinions : Mr Coleridge says, that he keeps his appointments ; and has even invented a new word, reliability, to express his exemplariness in this particular. [from a review of "Biographia Literaria" in Edinburgh Review, August 1817]
[科尔律治] 回避了对 [索瑟] 唯一的指控,反而回应了那些并未针对他的指控,除了他的《反雅各宾》支持者们——并且像是在玩弄文字游戏一样,为他的朋友辩护。有人说,索瑟先生背弃了自由的事业;科尔律治告诉我们,他并没有与妻子分离。他们说,他改变了自己的观点;科尔律治则说,他仍然履行自己的约定;甚至还创造了一个新词, reliability,来表达他在这方面的模范性。[摘自1817年8月《爱丁堡评论》对《文学传记》的评论]
