释义

ciceronen.

/tʃiːtʃəˈrəʊni//sɪsəˈrəʊni/
Forms: Plural cicerˈoni rarely cicerones.
Etymology: < Italian cicerone ( < Latin Cicerō-nem), the name of the great Roman orator, Cicero; supposed to refer to his learning or eloquence. Compare the use of mentor. (The historical origin is unknown; English examples are earlier than any in Italian dictionaries.)
A guide who shows and explains the antiquities or curiosities of a place to strangers.(Apparently originally given to learned Italian antiquarians, whose services were sought by visitors seeking information about the antiquities of a place; subsequently usurped by the ordinary professional ‘guide’.) Also transferred to a ‘guide’ through a period of literature, etc.
