单词 anthony
释义

Anthonyn.

Brit. /ˈantəni/, /ˈanθəni/, U.S. /ˈænθəni/, /ˈæntəni/
Forms: late Middle English Anton, late Middle English Antyny, late Middle English 1600s–1800s Antony, late Middle English–1500s Antonie, late Middle English– Anthony, 1600s Anthonie. Also occasionally with lower-case initial.
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Anthony.
Etymology: < the name of St Anthony the Great (251–356), Egyptian hermit monk, founder of Christian monasticism and patron saint of swineherds < classical Latin Antōnius , the name of a gens, in post-classical Latin also a male forename, of uncertain origin. Compare St Anthony n.Foreign-language parallels. With use with reference to pigs (see sense 1) compare Middle Low German Antoniusswīn pig belonging to the monks of the order of the Hospital Brothers of St Anthony. With Anthony's fire n. at sense 2 compare Middle Low German Antoniesvǖr , and earlier St Anthony's fire at St Anthony n. 1 and the foreign-language parallels cited at that entry. Semantic motivation of the compounds. The relics of St Anthony the Great were said to have been transferred from Egypt to Constantinople, and in the 11th cent. were presented by the Byzantine emperor to a French count, who transferred them to the town of La-Motte-St-Didier in Dauphiné (now St-Antoine-l'Abbaye, renamed in honour of the saint). There St Anthony was credited with healing a number of infectious diseases, especially erysipelas (against which he is still often invoked); compare sense 2. Two local noblemen who recovered after invoking St Anthony's intercession founded the order of the Hospital Brothers of St Anthony (Antonites), who specialized in nursing the victims of skin diseases. The Antonites kept pigs, which were given licence to roam freely in return for the order's charitable works. Hence, such pigs came to be called after the saint (compare sense 1), and the pig became St Anthony's attribute in iconography, later often taken to represent the temptations which the saint underwent in the desert. Attestation of the personal name. The saint's name is attested in British sources from the Old English period onwards, at first in its Latin form Antonius , subsequently from the first half of the 15th cent. in the modern form. The popularity of St Anthony the Great's namesake saint, St Anthony of Padua (1195–1231), whose intercession is especially invoked to find lost objects, helped to popularize the name. Its spelling with -th- , which may reflect association with ancient Greek ἄνθος flower (see anthos n.), is attested from at least the late 15th cent., and gave rise to the (chiefly U.S.) pronunciation with medial /θ/. Some of the main forms of the name in other languages are: French Antoine, Catalan Antoni, Spanish Antonio, Portuguese Antônio, Antão, Italian Antonio, Dutch Antonius, Antoon, Antonie, German Anton, Antonius, Lithuanian Antanas, Polish Antoni, Russian Anton.
I. Compounds.
1. attributive and in the genitive, esp. in Anthony pig. Designating a pig kept by a religious order associated with St Anthony the Great, or a pig dedicated to the saint, which is allowed to roam freely and is typically thought of as being small, fat, and domesticated. In later use also: designating any pig with characteristics of this sort, esp. the smallest pig in a litter; also in extended use. Frequently in proverbs. Now rare (chiefly English regional).For the semantic motivation of this sense see note in etymology. For similar uses, cf. St Anthony n. 2, tantony n. c.
