英语词汇hermetically sealed的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hermetically sealed. Mystic philosophers in the third centu- ry claimed that their magical secrets had been dictated to them by Hermes Trismegistus, his name meaning “Hermes thrice greatest [three times as great as the original Greek god Hermes],” and that this Hermes was really the Egyptian god of wisdom, Thoth. The wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus became the basis for the 42 Hermetic Books containing secrets for al- chemists, and one formula in these books told how to seal a container so that no air could get in. Today we don’t claim to seal bottles, cans, and jars by any “magical” method, but all such airtight containers are called hermetic or hermetically sealed in Hermes’ honor.
