单词 critique
释义

critiquen.

Brit. /krᵻˈtiːk/, U.S. /krᵻˈtik/
Forms:

α. 1600s criticke, 1600s–1700s critick, 1600s–1800s critic.

β. 1600s– critique.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin criticus; French critique; Latin critice.
Etymology: Apparently originally (in quot. 1647) < (i) post-classical Latin criticus, the title of the fifth book of J. C. Scaliger Poetice (1561), use as noun (short for liber criticus ) of criticus critic adj. In later use < (ii) French critique (feminine) art of literary criticism, critical evaluation of a literary text (1580 in Middle French), action of making negative judgements (1663 in Molière), piece of writing in which a literary, artistic, or scientific work is critically evaluated (1680), and its etymon (iii) post-classical Latin critice art of literary criticism (1509 or earlier; already in classical Latin (Quintilian) as a Greek word in Latin context) < ancient Greek ἡ κριτική criticism, use as noun (short for ἡ κριτικὴ τέχνη the critical art) of the feminine of κριτικός critic adj.  Compare earlier criticism n.Compare ancient Greek τὸ κριτικόν (neuter) power of discerning, classical Latin critica (neuter plural) art of literary criticism, and Italian critica art of exercising critical judgement (1664), piece of literary criticism (1739). In specific use in sense 3 after German Kritik, †Critik (1781 in specific use in the title of Kant's Critik der reinen Vernunft; 1688 in more general use as †Critique ). Form and pronunciation history. Early occurrences of the form critique simply reflect the general range of spelling variation shown by words in -ic suffix in this period. However, during the course of the 18th century, contrary to the general trend for the spelling -ique to lose ground (see -ic suffix), and apparently as a result of French influence, in this particular word the spelling with -ique comes to be preferred by many, initially retaining stress on the first syllable (compare quot. 1729 at sense 1aβ. ), but by the end of the century with stress on the second syllable. This notwithstanding, Johnson and most of the dictionaries to the end of the 18th century retain critick (Sheridan (1780) and Walker (1791) list only this form, stressed on the first syllable). Todd substitutes critique (with stress on the second syllable) in his edition of Johnson in 1818.
