单词 culdee
释义

Culdeen.adj.

/ˈkʌldiː/
Forms: Also Middle English Kylde, 1500s Kilde, 1600s Culdey.
Etymology: In Old Irish céle dé (modern Irish céile dé), found in the 8th cent. in the sense of ‘anchorite’; < céle associate, fellow, spouse, sometimes servant, vassal, liegeman, tenant + of God. In early Scottish records latinized in plural keledei, kelledei, keldei; rendered by Wyntoun kylde. By Hector Boece written Culdei to suit the derivation cultores Dei, whence the Culdees of later vernacular writers. The primary sense of céle dé was perhaps socius Dei, as an appellation of a solitary who forsook the society of men to hold intercourse with heaven alone; Dr. Reeves ( Culdees of the British Isles, 1864) takes it as an Irish translation of the early Christian appellation servus Dei, servant or slave of God, applied to monks; Skene ( Celtic Scotland II. ii. vi) thinks céle dé a kind of Irish adaptation or imitation of the term deicola, God-worshipper, applied from the 4th cent. to religious recluses or anchorites in the east. One of the later Latinized adaptations was Colidei, evidently = Deicolae, and the explanation cultor Dei appears to have been traditional in the time of Boece.
A. n.
1. A member of an ancient Scoto-Irish religious order, found from the eighth century onwards.The name appears to have been first given to solitary recluses; these were afterwards associated into communities of anchorites or hermits, and finally brought under the canonical rule along with the secular clergy, ‘until at length the name became almost synonymous with that of secular canon’. (See Reeves British Culdees, and Skene Celtic Scotland II. ii. vi.)
