英语词汇homosexual的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

homosexual; heterosexual. Homosexual does not derive from the Latin word homo, for “man,” as homo sapiens does. It comes from the Greek homos, meaning “the same,” like many other English words, including homogenized and homonym. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, it can be applied to fe- males as well as males. Its antonym, heterosexual, comes from the Greek heteros, “other.” The use of heterosexual as a noun, meaning a heterosexual person, not as an adjective, was rare up until the 1960s, but the term dates back to the late 19th century, when it was first recorded in a paper of Sigmund Freud. Homo- sexual as a noun is first recorded at about the same time (1912).
