释义

worldhoodn.

Brit. /ˈwəːldhʊd/, U.S. /ˈwər(ə)ldˌhʊd/
Forms: see world n. and -hood suffix.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; originally modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: world n., -hood suffix.
Etymology: < world n. + -hood suffix, originally after post-classical Latin habitus saecularis (4th or 5th cent. in Jerome; 8th cent. in a British source; compare quots. eOE1 and eOE2 at sense 1). Compare Old Frisian wraldshēd, Middle Dutch wereltheit, both in sense ‘worldliness’.The word apparently became obsolete at the end of the Old English period and was re-formed in the 17th cent.
1. The secular world, as opposed to the religious world of the cloister. Also: a person living in the secular world, a lay person. Obsolete.
