英语词汇tory的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Tory. Dictionary makers were not always nonpartisan. In his great groundbreaking dictionary, Dr. Johnson, committed to the Tory party, defined a Tory as: “One who adheres to the an- cient constitution of the state, and the apostolic hierarchy of the Church of England—opposed to a Whig.” (Whig was dealt with as if by the ax-man: “The name of a faction.”) Tory derives from the Irish toraidhe, a pursued person, the term first applied to Irish who were forced from their land by the English and took to the hills, becoming outlaws. It then became the name for Catholics fighting for James II and finally described those who supported the Stuarts as a political party. By the reign of George III, the party had lost its Stuart bias and vigorously sup- ported the Crown, State, and Church as established by law. Since about 1830 the Tory Party has gradually become known as the Conservative Party and Tory has become a synonym for “conservative.” See whig.
