词汇 climax
词源

climax [M16th] The word was first used in rhetoric for a number of propositions set forth in a series, increasing in force or effectiveness of expression. It comes from Greek klimax ‘ladder, climax’. The sense ‘culmination’ arose in the late 18th century from popular misuse of the learned word, with the sexual use recorded from the late 19th century.
