单词 idolater
释义

idolatern.

Brit. /ʌɪˈdɒlətə/, U.S. /aɪˈdɑlədər/
Forms: α. Middle English ydolatrour, Middle English–1500s ydolatrer, Middle English–1600s idolatrer, (1500s ydolatrar, idolatrar). β. 1500s ydolatre, ydolater, ydolatour, idoloter, 1600s– idolator, 1500s– idolater.
Etymology: < Greek εἰδωλολάτρης (New Testament), idol-worshipper, gave ecclesiastical Latin (Tertullian) īdōlolatrēs , later -latra (see idololater n.), shortened in Romanic to idola′tra (Spanish idolatra , Portuguese idolatra , Italian idola′tro ), Old French idolatre , ydolatre , whence (by confusion with the suffix -astre , -âtre ) idolastre , idolâtre (see idolaster n. and adj.). The α form idolatrer, -rour, was either < Old French idolatre + agentive suffix -er, -our, or was a native formation < idolatr-y (compare astronom-y, -er, etc.) with same suffix; the β form idolater, -our, was either a phonetic simplification of idolatrer, -our, or < French idolatre, idolâtre.
1. A worshipper of idols or images; one who pays divine honours to an image or representation of a god, or to any natural object as a deity.
