释义

Pelagiann.1adj.1

Brit. /pᵻˈleɪdʒɪən/, /pᵻˈleɪdʒ(ə)n/, U.S. /pəˈleɪdʒ(i)ən/
Forms: late Middle English Pellagyen, late Middle English Pilagien (in a late copy), late Middle English– Pelagian, 1500s Pellagian, 1500s Pollegyan.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Pelagianus.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin Pelagianus, noun and adjective (5th cent.) < Pelagius , apparently a Latinized form (after pelagius : see pelagian adj.2 and n.2) of the name of a British theologian of the late 4th and 5th centuries, whose doctrines were fiercely combated by St Augustine, and condemned by Pope Zosimus in a.d. 418 + classical Latin -ānus -an suffix. Compare Middle French, French pélagien (c1407 as noun, 1655 as adjective).Attempts to link the name Pelagius to the Welsh name Morgan (compare quot. below) or to the Irish name Muirchú cannot be substantiated. The basis of this speculation is an association of the name Pelagius with Greek πέλαγος ocean (see pelagian adj.2) and thence the correspondence of that word in sense with the first element of the Celtic names (respectively Old Welsh mor , Early Irish muir sea: see mere n.1).1645 E. Pagitt Heresiogr. (1662) 229 Pelagius..his name in Welsh was Morgan, which signifies the sea. Compare Old English Pelagianisc (adjective and noun), in the same sense ( < post-classical Latin Pelagianus + -ish suffix1):OE tr. Bede Eccl. Hist. (Cambr. Univ. Libr.) 8 (table of contents) Ðæt Germanus se biscop mid Lupo to Breotene on scype cumende, ærest þæs sæs & æfter þam ðara Pelagianiscan hreohnysse mid godcunde mægene gestilde... Eft spryttendum þam twigum ðæs Pelagianiscan woles Germanus..him geedniwode þone stæpe rihtes geleafan. N.E.D. (1904) gives only the pronunciation (pĭlēi·dʒiăn) /pɪˈleɪdʒɪən/.
