英文詞源
- renegade
- renegade: [16] A renegade is etymologically a ‘denier’. The word is an anglicization of Spanish renegado, a term picked up via Anglo-Hispanic contact at the end of the 16th century and itself quite commonly used in English until the 18th century. Renegado itself comes from medieval Latin renegātus, a noun use of the past participle of Latin renegāre ‘deny’ (source of English renegue [16]). This was a compound verb formed from the intensive prefix re- and negāre ‘deny’ (source of English deny [13] and negative [14]).
=> deny, negative, renegue - renegade (n.)
- 1580s, "apostate," probably (with change of suffix) from Spanish renegado, originally "Christian turned Muslim," from Medieval Latin renegatus, noun use of past participle of renegare "deny" (see renege). General sense of "turncoat" is from 1660s. The form renegate, directly from Medieval Latin, is attested in English from late 14c. As an adjective from 1705.
