英文詞源
- drama
- drama: [17] Etymologically, drama is simply ‘that which is done’ (in that respect it closely resembles act, which has the neutral, general meaning ‘do something’, as well as the more specific ‘perform on stage’). It comes via late Latin drāma from Greek drama, originally ‘deed, action’, and hence ‘play’. This was a derivative of the verb dran ‘do’, whose past participle was the ultimate source of English drastic [17].
=> drastic - drama (n.)
- 1510s, from Late Latin drama "play, drama," from Greek drama (genitive dramatos) "play, action, deed," from dran "to do, act, perform" (especially some great deed, whether good or bad), from PIE *dere- "to work." Drama queen attested by 1992.
