单词 rhetorism
释义

rhetorismn.

Brit. /ˈrɛtərɪz(ə)m/, U.S. /ˈrɛdəˌrɪzəm/
Forms: 1500s–1600s rhetorisme, 1800s– rhetorism.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin rhetorismus.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin rhetorismus (1530 in the passage translated in quot. 1569), perhaps < classical Latin rhētor rhetor n. + -ismus -ism suffix after post-classical Latin rhetorizare rhetorize v.A direct Greek model for post-classical Latin rhetorismus is apparently not attested. A Greek form *ῥητορισμός would derive from ῥητορίζειν rhetorize v., but post-classical Latin rhetorizare would be expected to give a noun *rhetorizatio.
Rhetorical speech or language; (also) a rhetorical figure or flourish.
