单词 pomp
释义

pompn.1

Brit. /pɒmp/, U.S. /pɑmp/
Forms: Middle English pamp, Middle English ponpe (probably transmission error), Middle English pope (transmission error), Middle English pumpe, Middle English–1600s pompe, Middle English– pomp, 1500s pompte (Scottish), 1600s powmpe.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French pompe; Latin pompa.
Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman and Middle French pompe (French pompe) splendid display (c1165 in Old French), vanities of the world (c1350; chiefly in plural), a solemn procession (a1502), and its etymon (ii) classical Latin pompa ceremonial procession, ostentation, display < ancient Greek πομπή a sending away, solemn procession, parade, display < πέμπειν to send, of unknown origin. Compare Catalan pompa (14th cent.), Spanish pompa (a1396 or earlier), Italian pompa (a1306), Portuguese pompa (14th cent. as ponpa, põpa).Earlier currency is perhaps implied by the surname Rogero Pumpe (c1200), Rogerus Pompe (a1234), although it is unclear whether this is to be interpreted as reflecting the Anglo-Norman or the Middle English word. In sense 1b after post-classical Latin pompa diaboli, pompae diaboli (late 2nd or early 3rd cent. in Tertullian in descriptions of baptism, perhaps reflecting an early baptismal oath). Compare Anglo-Norman pompes del deable (end of 13th cent. in the source translated in quot. a1400 at sense 1b(a)). In magistrate of the pomps n. at sense 4 after Italian magistrato delle pompe (1583 or earlier).
1.
a. Splendid display or celebration; magnificent show or ceremony. Formerly frequently with negative connotation: ostentatious, specious, or boastful show; vainglory (frequently coupled with pride).In later use frequently in echoes of quot. a1616; the prevalence of the particular form pomp and circumstance is probably due to the popular military marches composed (from 1901) by Edward Elgar with this subtitle.
