单词 analects
释义

analectsn.

Brit. /ˈanəlɛkts/, U.S. /ˈænlˌɛk(t)s/
Forms:

α. 1600s–1800s analecta.

β. 1600s– analects.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin analecta.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin analecta literary gleanings, collections of fragments or extracts (1593 in a work title, or earlier) < ancient Greek ἀνάλεκτα , neuter plural of ἀνάλεκτος select, choice < ἀνά- ana- prefix + λεκτός chosen (see lectotype n.), after ἀναλέγειν to pick up, gather up. With sense 1 compare classical Latin analecta slave who collected the crumbs after a meal.The form analecta is particularly frequent when referring to extracts from classical Greek and Latin writers. With use with specific reference to the Analects of Confucius (e.g. quot. 1861 at sense 2b) compare Chinese Lún Yǔ, the title of the book in Chinese < lún, apparently a variant of lùn discourses + saying, dialogue. The use of the word Analects to render the Chinese title apparently originated in the translation by James Legge in his The Chinese Classics (1861) I. 137, where he discusses the various possible translations of the title.
