单词 domdaniel
释义

Domdanieln.

/dɒmˈdanɪəl/
Etymology: < French domdaniel, apparently < Greek δῶμα Δανιήλ, or Latin domus Danielis, hall or house of Daniel. A fictitious name, introduced in the French ‘Continuation of the Arabian Nights’ by Dom Chaves and M. Cazotte 1788–93, whence adopted by Southey in Thalaba, and so by Carlyle. It is not clear whether ‘Daniel’ is intended to refer to the Hebrew prophet, or to ‘a great Grecian sage’ of that name who appears in the tale of ‘the Queen and the Serpents’ in the Arabian Nights.
A fabled submarine hall where a magician or sorcerer met with his disciples: placed by Cazotte ‘under the sea near Tunis’, by Southey ‘under the roots of the ocean’; used by Carlyle in the sense of ‘infernal cave’, ‘den of iniquity’.
ΘΚΠ
the mind > mental capacity > perception or cognition > faculty of imagination > mental image, idea, or fancy > realm of imagination > [noun] > imaginary place > submarine hall
