英语词汇latin的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Latin. We find the word Latin, for the language of the Ro- mans, first recorded in about 950. Latin was a second language to cultivated Englishmen for over four centuries, from about 1400–1800, and it was then a supreme insult to call someone a “Latinless dolt.” According to Trevelyan, grammar school boys were permitted to speak nothing but Latin even out of school and “a spy aptly named lupus was sometimes paid to report whether they used English words while at play—if they did, they were flogged.”
