| 词汇 | comedy |
| 词源 | comedy. The word comedy may derive from the Greek word kome for “village,” because the first comic thespians were scorned in the cities and had to wander about rural villages to give performances. This was Aristotle’s belief, but others say comedy comes from Greek komas, meaning “revel,” because it first was performed by revelers at festivals. |
