civics (n.)

“市民的权利和责任的研究，政府科学”于1885年在 civic 出版并于1885年5月纳入 American Institute of Civics，并借此类推到 -ics 和 'Civics'（见 politics ）。

"The term 'Civics,' however unfamiliar the word, could be wisely applied with a broader significance than that attached to 'Political Science,' as including not only the science of government, but political economy, and that part of social science which is related to government and citizenship." [E.E. White, quoted in The School Journal, July 25, 1885]

“无论这个词语有多么陌生，'Civics'这个术语可以被明智地应用到比‘政治科学’更广的范畴内，例如包括不仅政府科学，还包括政治经济和与政府和公民身份证有关的社会科学的那一部分。” [E.E. White, 引用于 The School Journal, 1885年7月25日]
