下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
臭名昭著的(形容词)a 16c。两个中古英语单词的合并,其形式为 inknown“不知名”(15 世纪早期)和 infamis 的含义(14 世纪晚期)“坏名声,因坏而闻名”。 Inknown 源自中世纪拉丁语 infamosus,源自 in-“不,相反”(参见 in- (1))+ 拉丁语 famosus“庆祝”(参见著名)。 Infamis 源自拉丁语 infamis“恶名昭著”(见 infamy)。 “造成臭名昭著”的意思源自 1550 年代。作为一个法律术语,“因对某些罪行定罪而被取消公民的某些权利”(14世纪末)。中性的无名(从原始到臭名昭著的意义上)是从 1590 年代开始记录的。相关:臭名昭著。相关条目及更多
