| 词汇 | papist |
| 词源 | papist. Usually a hostile or opprobrious term, papist means an adherent of the pope, one who advocates papal supremacy; or, simply, a member of the Roman Catholic church. Appropri- ately enough, Martin Luther coined the word from the Latin papa, “pope,” also coining the obsolete variants papastres, pa- panos, and papenses. Luther also invented the term Romanist, for a Roman Catholic. The words came from German into En- glish, unchanged, in the early 16th century. See lutheran. |
