magnificence (n.)
14世纪中期,“伟大的心态,勇气”,源自古法语 magnificence “辉煌,高贵,宏伟”,源自拉丁语 magnificentia “辉煌,慷慨”,源自 magnificus “伟大的,高贵的,杰出的”,也指“辉煌的,富有的,精美的,昂贵的”,字面意思是“做伟大的事情”,源自 magnus “伟大的”(源自 PIE 词根 *meg- “伟大”)和 facere “制造,做”(源自 PIE 词根 *dhe- “放置,放置”)的组合形式。
英语中“外表或性格的伟大,宏伟,荣耀”的意思始于14世纪晚期。15世纪的“美丽,辉煌,财富”意义。作为亚里士多德和学院派的一种美德之一,它翻译了希腊语 megaloprepeia “慷慨的支出与良好品味相结合”。
