miscegenate (v.)

"种族杂交"，最初特别指黑人和白人之间的性交，1863年，由美国记者大卫·古德曼·克罗利不规则地创造，源自拉丁语 miscere "混合"（来自 PIE 词根 *meik- "混合"）+ genus "种族"，来自 PIE 词根 *gene- "生育，产生"，带有指涉生殖、家庭和部落群体的派生词。它最初出现在《种族混合论：应用于美国白人和黑人的混合理论》一书中，这是克罗利和其他人在1864年美国总统选举之前匿名出版的假反废奴传单。旧词为 amalgamation。

The design of "Miscegenation" was exceedingly ambitious, and the machinery employed was probably among the most ingenious and audacious ever put into operation to procure the indorsement of absurd theories and give the subject the widest notoriety. The object was to so make use of the prevailing ideas of the extremists of the Anti-Slavery party, as to induce them to accept doctrines which would be obnoxious to the great mass of the community, and which would, of course, be used in the political canvass which was to ensue. [P.T. Barnum, "The Humbugs of the World," 1866; he also writes that, despite the pamphlet being an ingenious and impudent literary hoax, the word "has passed into the language and no future dictionary will be complete without it."]

《种族混合论》的设计非常雄心勃勃，所使用的机制可能是有史以来最巧妙和大胆的，旨在获得荒谬理论的认可，并使该主题广为人知。其目的是利用废奴党极端分子的流行思想，使他们接受对大多数社区令人反感的学说，并在随后的政治竞选中使用。[P.T.巴纳姆，《世界上的骗子》，1866年； 他还写道，尽管这本小册子是一个巧妙而无耻的文学骗局，但这个词“已经进入了语言，没有任何未来的词典会完整无缺地缺少它。”]
