词源:
reverence (n.)late 13c., “honor, respect, deference (shown to someone), esteem heightened by awe,” also of places or holy objects, from Old French reverence “respect, awe” and directly from Latin reverentia “awe, respect,” from revereri “to stand in awe of, respect, honor, fear, be afraid of; revere,” from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see re-), + vereri “stand in awe of, fear, respect” (from PIE root *wer- (3) “perceive, watch out for”).
Reverence is nearly equivalent to
veneration, but expresses something less of the same emotion. It differs from
awe in that it is not akin to the feeling of fear, dread, or terror, while also implying a certain amount of love or affection. We feel
reverence for a parent and for an upright magistrate, but we stand in
awe of a tyrant. [Century Dictionary]
From late 14c. as “state of being revered or venerated.” As a respectful form of address, with possessive pronoun, to a clergyman or ecclesiastic, late 14c. (Gower), “latterly only used by the lower classes, esp. in Ireland” [OED]. Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
reverence (n.)late 13c., “荣誉、尊重、尊重(向某人表示)、因敬畏而增强的尊重”,也指地方或圣物,源自古法语 reverence “尊重、敬畏”,直接源自拉丁语 reverentia “awe” ,尊重,”来自revereri“表示敬畏,尊重,荣誉,恐惧,害怕;revere,”来自re-,这里可能是一个密集的前缀(参见re-),+vereri“表示敬畏,恐惧、尊重”(来自 PIE 根 *wer- (3)“感知、提防”)。崇敬几乎等同于崇敬,但表达的情感有所不同。它与敬畏的不同之处在于它不像恐惧、恐惧或恐怖的感觉,同时也暗示着一定程度的爱或感情。我们尊敬父母,尊敬正直的县长,但我们敬畏暴君。 [世纪词典] 从14世纪末开始。作为“受到尊敬或尊敬的状态”。作为一种尊敬的称呼,带有所有格代词,对牧师或神职人员,14c 后期。 (高尔),“后来仅被下层阶级使用,尤其是在爱尔兰”[OED]。相关条目及更多
