來源:Latin cynicus [Cynic philosopher] 拉丁語 cynicus [犬儒哲學家] from Greek kunikos 源自 希臘語 kunikos from kuôn kun- [dog] * see kwon- 源自 kuôn kun- [犬] *參見 kwon-
<注釋>A cynic may be pardoned for thinking that this is a dog`s life.The Greek wordkunikos, from which cynic comes, was originally an adjective meaning .doglike,. fromkuôn, .dog.. The word was most likely applied to the Cynic philosophers because of the nicknamekuôn given to Diogenes of Sinope, the prototypical Cynic. He is said to have performed such actions as barking in public, urinating on the leg of a table, and masturbating on the street.The first use of the word recorded in English, in a work published from 547 to 5'4, is in the plural for members of this philosophical sect.In 59' we find the first instance ofcynic meaning .faultfinder,. a sense that was to develop into our modern sense.The meaning .faultfinder. came naturally from the behavior of countless Cynics who in their pursuit of virtue pointed out the flaws in others.Such faultfinding could lead quite naturally to the belief associated with cynics of today that selfishness determines human behavior.犬儒學派成員因認為這是狗的生命而可能被赦免。希臘詞kunikos 是 cynic 的來源, 最初為形容詞,意思是.似狗.,源自kuon .狗.,。 這個詞最適用於犬儒派哲學家,因為給犬儒主義者的鼻祖的綽號是kuon 。 據說他曾經當眾吼叫,在桌腿上小便,並且在街上 * 。這個詞在一本547到5'4年出版的著作里首次用英文記錄下來的用法是,用作複數來指代此哲學學派的成員。59'年,我們發現cynic 的第一個意思是吹毛求疵的人的例子, 也是發展成具有我們現代意義的含義。 .吹毛吹疵的人.這個意思是從無數個以追求指摘別人缺點為美德的犬儒主義者的行為而得來。這種指摘很自然地得出與現在的犬儒主義相聯繫的信仰,認為自私自利決定人類行為注釋>
