• n. [性病] 梅毒

來自 1530 年出版于意大利的一首拉丁語詩《Syphilis,sive Morbus Gallicus》，翻譯成英語即 “Syphilis,or the French Disease”，來自 Syphilis,人名，sive,或者，Morbus,病，詞源同 morbid, 病態的，Gallicus,高盧。該詩講述了一個叫 Syphilis 的牧羊人得了梅毒的故事，可能為歐洲 歷史上第一個得此病的人。這首詩的創作背景如下：在 1494 年，法國入侵意大利，同年或 在 1495 年，在意大利那不勒斯發生了歐洲歷史上第一次梅毒的大規模爆發，那不勒斯人堅 定認為該傳染病是由法國軍隊入侵帶來的，因此也就稱之為“法國病”。后 1530 年，意大 利醫生和詩人 Girolamo Fracastoro 創作了該詩歌，描述了該病在意大利的肆虐成災，而 Syphilis 也成為梅毒的代名詞。

syphilis

syphilis: [18] Syphilus was the name of a shepherd who according to Syphilis sive morbus Gallicus (Syphilis or the French disease) 1530, a poem by the Veronese doctor Girolamo Fracastoro, was the first sufferer from syphilis. The word Syphilis in Fracastoro’s title meant simply ‘narrative about Syphilus’; he did not use it as a generic term for the disease until 1546, in a treatise called De contagione (Concerning contagious disease). It is not known where he got the name Syphilus from.

syphilis (n.)

infectious venereal disease, 1718, Modern Latin, originally from the title of a poem, "Syphilis, sive Morbus Gallicus" "Syphilis, or the French Disease," published 1530, by Veronese doctor Girolamo Fracastoro (1483-1553), which tells the tale of the shepherd Syphilus, supposed to be the first sufferer from the disease. Fracastoro first used the word as a generic term for the disease in his 1546 treatise "De Contagione." Why he chose the name is unknown; it may be intended as Latin for "Pig-lover," though there was also a Sipylus, a son of Niobe, in Ovid.
