英语词汇bigot的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bigot. “Ne, se, bi got! (‘No, by God!’)” the Norman lord Rollo is supposed to have shouted indignantly when he was told to kiss the foot or posterior of Charles the Simple as an act of hom- age, and legend has it that the word bigot arose because this phrase of Rollo’s was thereafter applied to any obstinate person. But the amusing old story is probably no more than that. Some scholars do suspect, however, that bigot stems from the Teutonic oath bi got, suggesting that it may have been bestowed as a de- rogatory nickname upon the Normans, who were regarded as obstinately and intolerantly devoted to their own religion. No- body knows, but whatever the case, the formation of bigot was certainly influenced by the fanatical, intolerant behavior of the Beguine religious order. See also beggar.
