英文词源
- utopia
- utopia: [16] Utopia means etymologically ‘noplace’. It was coined by the English statesman and scholar Sir Thomas More from Greek ou ‘not’ and tópos ‘place’ (source of English topic). He used it as the name of an imaginary island whose inhabitants had organized their society along the lines of what he regarded as a theoretically ideal commonwealth, which he described in his book Utopia 1516. The word was first used as a more general term for an ‘ideal place’ in the early 17th century.
=> topic - utopia (n.)
- 1551, from Modern Latin Utopia, literally "nowhere," coined by Thomas More (and used as title of his book, 1516, about an imaginary island enjoying the utmost perfection in legal, social, and political systems), from Greek ou "not" + topos "place" (see topos). Extended to any perfect place by 1610s. Commonly, but incorrectly, taken as from Greek eu- "good" (see eu-) an error reinforced by the introduction of dystopia.
