necrotomy (n.)

"尸体解剖"，1821年； 参见 necro- "尸体" -tomy "切割"。

Necrotomy. We venture to employ this word in the room of post mortem appearances, and other incongruous expressions which deform our medical style. It is constructed on principles strictly analogous to those of the English language and ... is equivalent to the Latin sectio cadaveris, and literally signifies the dissection of a dead body; which is more appropriate than autopsia, which only signifies inspecting, viewing, contemplating by one's self. [M. Vaidy, in "The Medico-Chirurgical Review," June 1821, translated footnote]

Necrotomy。我们冒昧使用这个词来代替 post mortem appearances 和其他丑陋的表达方式，这些方式破坏了我们的医学风格。它的构造原则严格遵循英语语言的原则，...等同于拉丁语 sectio cadaveris，字面意思是死体的解剖； 这比 autopsia 更为恰当，后者只表示自己检查、观察、思考。[M. Vaidy，《医学外科评论》，1821年6月，翻译脚注]
