英语词汇cicero的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Cicero; cicerone; Ciceronian. If you travel in Italy, any guide you hire will be called a cicerone, these guides often being well versed about the places of interest and objects they point out. The Italians invoke the name of Marcus Tullius Cicero (100–43 b.c.) for this word because the eloquent statesman, orator, and writer epitomized the knowledge and style they expected of their cicerones. The story, from Plutarch, is that Cicero got his name from the Latin cicer (“a wart”), due to the “flat excres- cence on the tip of his nose.” Cicero is also honored by Cicero- nian, pertaining to his clear, forceful, and melodious oratorial or prose style, and Cicero, a unit of print similar to a pica. To- day, cicerone has come to mean a guide in any country.
