英语词汇syllabus的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

syllabus. Syllabus began life as a printer’s error in a 15th- century edition of Cicero’s Epistles to the Atticans. In this work Cicero had written indices . . . quos vos Graeci . . . sittubas ap- pelatis, meaning “indexes, which were called sittubas by the Greeks.” The printer misprinted syllabos for sittubas and sylla- bos, later slightly changed to syllabus (instead of sittubas), be- came a synonym for index. Its meaning of index or table of contents was later expanded to mean “an outline or other brief statement of a discourse, the contents of a curriculum, etc.”
