词汇 illeist
词源
illeist. The word for the habit of referring to oneself exces- sively in the third person singular is illeism. A nonce word modeled on the Latin ille (“he”) and egoism, it was apparently invented by Coleridge, or at least he is the first author recorded to have used this coining for “a consummate egoist” (in about 1809). Using he does sound better than employing the royal we, and even a little better than constantly using I, for which Victor Hugo was called “a walking personal pronoun.”
