单词 bigot
释义

bigotn.adj.

Brit. /ˈbɪɡət/, U.S. /ˈbɪɡət/
Forms: 1500s– bigot, 1600s biggot.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French bigot.
Etymology: < Middle French bigot (French bigot ) (noun) person who shows excessive religious zeal, a religious hypocrite, (adjective) showing excessive religious zeal (15th cent.), of uncertain origin, perhaps ultimately < either English by God at by prep. 2b or an equivalent expression in another Germanic language (although there is apparently no evidential basis for this supposition: see further e.g. Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch at bî got). With sense A. 2a compare earlier bigoted adj. 2.It is uncertain whether the Middle French word shows a direct connection with Old French bigot, attested in the 12th cent. as an offensive name given to the Normans (and also attested in both England and France as a byname, earliest in the 11th cent.). If not directly connected, it is likely that both words show the same or a similar ultimate etymology. Compare ( < French) Italian bigotto (a1698), German Bigott (18th cent.), etc. Yiddish bagotish ‘bigotted’ has been suggested as an etymon of the French word, but there seems no reason for seeing this as other than a modern borrowing from another Germanic language, ultimately reflecting the French word.
