词源 | magazine. “This Consideration has induced several Gentle- men to promote a Monthly collection to treasure up, as in a Magazine, the most remarkable Pieces on the Subjects above- mention’d,” explained the editor of Gentleman’s Magazine (1731), the first publication to be called a magazine. The word magazine itself, however, is from the Arabic makhzan, “store- house,” and has been used in that sense in English since the 16th century. |
