英语词汇store的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

store; stoic. Store derives from the roofed colonnades called stoas that housed the small shops of merchants in the ancient Athenian agora, that same marketplace where Socrates and his followers gathered, where Solon the wise lawgiver made his fortune as a merchant. In this marketplace the philosopher Zeno taught that “what will be will be,” that man must accept his fate calmly in this world. He and his pupils came to be called Stoics because they met in a stoa. Thus the Greek word stoa, for “a shop,” yielded both the words store and stoic, this last something many a storekeeper has been forced to be by economic and other calamities over the centuries.
