charity 慈善
来自PIE*karo, 珍爱，爱，词源同caress, whore. 后指对穷人的仁爱或善举。
- charity (n.)
- mid-12c., "benevolence for the poor," from Old French charité "(Christian) charity, mercy, compassion; alms; charitable foundation" (12c., Old North French carité), from Latin caritatem (nominative caritas) "costliness, esteem, affection" (in Vulgate often used as translation of Greek agape "love" -- especially Christian love of fellow man -- perhaps to avoid the sexual suggestion of Latin amor), from carus "dear, valued," from PIE *karo-, from root *ka- "to like, desire" (see whore (n.)).
Vulgate also sometimes translated agape by Latin dilectio, noun of action from diligere "to esteem highly, to love" (see diligence).Wyclif and the Rhemish version regularly rendered the Vulgate dilectio by "love," caritas by "charity." But the 16th c. Eng. versions from Tindale to 1611, while rendering agape sometimes "love," sometimes "charity," did not follow the dilectio and caritas of the Vulgate, but used "love" more often (about 86 times), confining "charity" to 26 passages in the Pauline and certain of the Catholic Epistles (not in I John), and the Apocalypse .... In the Revised Version 1881, "love" has been substituted in all these instances, so that it now stands as the uniform rendering of agape. [OED]
Sense of "charitable foundation or institution" in English attested by 1690s.
