单词 scapegoat
释义

scapegoatn.

/ˈskeɪpɡəʊt/
Etymology: < scape n.1 or scape v.1 + goat n. and adj.Apparently invented by Tyndale (1530) to express what he believed to be the literal meaning of Hebrew ʿăzāzel, occurring only in Leviticus xvi. 8, 10, 26. (In verse 10 he renders: ‘The goote on which the lotte fell to scape’.) The same interpretation is expressed by the Vulgate caper emissarius (whence the French bouc émissaire), and by Coverdale's (1535) rendering ‘the fre goate’, but is now regarded as untenable. The word does not appear in the Revised Version of 1884, which has ‘Azazel’ (as a proper name) in the text, and ‘dismissal’ in the margin as an alternative rendering. The formation of the word has been imitated in nonce-combinations (chiefly jocular) in which the name of some other animal is substituted for ‘goat’ (compare the quots.):1765 H. Walpole Let. to Earl of Hertford 12 May That scape-goose, Lord Halifax.1783 J. O. Justamond tr. G. T. F. Raynal Philos. Hist. Europeans in Indies (new ed.) I. 86 They have a scape-horse, analogous to the scape-goat of the Jews.1831 R. Southey in Q. Rev. 44 286 To place himself in so prominent a position that he was noted for a scape-rat.
1. In the Mosaic ritual of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus xvi), that one of two goats that was chosen by lot to be sent alive into the wilderness, the sins of the people having been symbolically laid upon it, while the other was appointed to be sacrificed.
