释义

Zebedistn.

Forms: 1500s Zebediste.
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Zebedee , -ist suffix.
Etymology: < Zebedee (post-classical Latin Zebedaeus (Vulgate), Hellenistic Greek Ζεβεδαῖος (New Testament)), the name of the father of the apostles James and John + -ist suffix.It is unclear which Hebrew or Aramaic name underlies Zebedee's name; perhaps Hebrew Zĕḇadyāh, which occurs in the Old Testament and Hebrew Scriptures as the name of nine different individuals.
Obsolete.
A person who seeks advancement or high office.Apparently an isolated use.With allusion to Matthew 20:20–2, in which the mother of the sons of Zebedee (the apostles James and John), asks Jesus to grant them the favour of sitting at his right and left hand in God's kingdom, a request which meets with a rebuke from Jesus and indignation on the part of the other apostles.
