英语词汇caesarean section的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

caesarean section. According to Pliny the Elder, the first of the Caesars was brought into the world by the caesarean sec- tion operation named in his honor. However, Julius Caesar probably wasn’t extracted from his mother’s womb by this inci- sion through the abdominal walls, though the operation was commonly practiced on dead mothers in early times. Caesar, whose mother, Julia, lived many years after his death, probably has his name confused with the operation because it became mandatory under the lex Caesarum (“law of the Caesars,” the codified Roman law of the time), just as it had been under the previous lex regia (royal law), that every woman dying in ad- vanced pregnancy be so treated in an effort to save the baby. It is also possible that caesarean section simply comes from the Latin caesus, past participle of the verb caedere, “to cut.”
