单词 philander
释义

philandern.1

Brit. /fᵻˈlandə/, U.S. /fəˈlændər/
Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek ϕίλανδρος.
Etymology: < ancient Greek ϕίλανδρος (adjective) loving or fond of men, in Hellenistic Greek also (of a woman) loving her husband < ϕιλο- philo- comb. form + ἄνδρ- , ἀνήρ man, male, husband (see andro- comb. form); hence used as a proper name in stories, dramas, and dialogues, in later use especially for a lover (perhaps being misunderstood as meaning ‘a loving man’).Thus in Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Filandro was the youth beloved and ruined by the lustful Gabrina; and in the play Lawes of Candy (?a1625), one of the characters is ‘Philander Prince of Cyprus, passionately in love with Erota’; however, the name seems to have been most often matched with Phillis (compare Phillis n.), as e.g. in the following:a1680 (title of ballad) The faithful Lovers Downfal: or, The Death of Fair Phillis Who Killed her self for loss of her Philander. In later use in sense 1 perhaps simply an error for philanderer n.
1. Chiefly poetic (usually with capital initial). A lover; a male sweetheart. Also (in later use): a man given to philandering, a philanderer. Now rare.

philandern.2

Brit. /fᵻˈlandə/, U.S. /fəˈlændər/
Forms: 1700s–1800s filander, 1700s– philander.
Origin: Partly a borrowing from French. Probably partly a borrowing from Dutch. Etymons: French filander; Dutch filanders.
Etymology: < French filander (1718 in a French translation of De Bruyn), and probably partly also < its probable etymon Dutch filanders (C. De Bruyn Reizen Moskovie, Persie en Indie (1711) lvi. 374/1); further etymology unknown. Compare scientific Latin philander, specific name (in Didelphis philander; Linnaeus Systema Naturæ (1735)) and Philander, genus name (M. J. Brisson Regnum Animale (1762) 285).An etymology from the name Philander de Bruyn appears to arise from a misunderstanding in E. E. Morris Austral. Eng. (1898) at Philander of the name of Cornelius de Bruyn (compare quot. 1737 at sense 1). The following quotations suggest transference of the name of the mouse deer, Malay pelanduk (see pelandok n.) (taken to mean ‘rabbit’ by Western writers), with subsequent assimilation to the forename Philander:1800 G. Shaw Gen. Zool. I. ii. 477 Molucca Opossum... It is found in great plenty in Aroe and Solor, and is known in some parts of the East indies by the name of Pelander Aroe, or the Aroe Rabbet.1827 E. Griffith et al. Cuvier's Animal Kingdom II. 70 The name..of philander is not, as might be supposed derived from the Greek, but from the word pelandor, which in Malay means a rabbit, and which the inhabitants of Amboyna give to a species of kangaroo.
