释义

tropistn.

Brit. /ˈtrəʊpɪst/, U.S. /ˈtroʊpəst/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; originally modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: trope n., -ist suffix.
Etymology: < trope n. + -ist suffix, in sense 1 after post-classical Latin tropista (1553 or earlier). Compare Middle French, French (now hist.) tropiste, in same sense (1561 or earlier in Calvin).
1. Chiefly derogatory. A person who (esp. in relation to 16th cent. controversy about the nature of the Eucharist) challenges the literal meaning of Scripture or some passage of Scripture by explaining it as tropes or figurative language; an adherent of Reformed (non-Lutheran) Protestantism. Hence (more generally): a Protestant. See tropic n. 3. Now historical.
