condescension
語源
From Latin condēscēnsiō.
発音
名詞
condescension (usually uncountable, 複数形 condescensions)
- The act of condescending; a manner of behaving in an outwardly polite way that nevertheless implies superiority to another; patronizing courtesy toward inferiors.
- 1837, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Ethel Churchill, volume 2, pages 27–28:
- Mrs. Howard's fête at Marble Hill more than realised all expectations. The very spring put itself forward to please her; or, rather borrowed a day from summer. The king and queen were in the last extremities of royal condescension. It was enough to make domestic felicity the fashion from one end of the British empire to the other, just to see the august couple walking arm in arm through the gardens;...
- 1911, Robert Ames Bennet, Out of the Primitive:
- "Unfortunate situation," she replied, making an effort to moderate her superciliousness to mere condescension."
- 1914, George Washington Cable, The Amateur Garden:
- We believe our Northampton garden competition tends to do this. It brings together in neighborly fellowship those whom the discrepancies of social accomplishments would forever hold asunder and it brings them together without forced equality or awkward condescension […]
- 1919, William Stearns Davis, “The Roots of War”, in Century issue=May, page 110-23:
- The Berlin rulers did indeed make a serious attempt to conciliate local opinion by sending down for once a really humane and enlightened governor, Baron von Manteuffel. Manteuffel won the personal good will of the people he was sent to govern, but his very condescension raised against him enemies at home.
- 1963, Morris West, The Shoes of the Fisherman:
- How can I tell them that they must never expect too much from a middle-aged fellow in striped cotton pajamas? But tonight is different. There is a whole concourse of Romans and of tourists in the Piazza, and it would be a courtesy – excuse me, Holiness, a great condescension! – to appear with one small blessing.... I condescend, and I am exalted once again on wave after wave of cheering and horn-blowing
- (usually uncountable, derogatory) A patronizing attitude or behavior. [from 1930s]
- 1954, Chester Himes, Third Generation:
- He was self-conscious about the brace and wore a jacket even on the hottest days. It held him abnormally erect. His face was tight from the discomfort and frustration. His posture was mistaken for a sign of arrogance, his expression for disdain and condescension.
- 1984, I.C. Jarvie, Rationality and Relativism:
- 2009 June 29, Nancy Gibbs, “Dads Are Dudes”, in Time, volume 173, number 25, page 56:
- We talk about fathers like puppies tripping over their big paws, a portrait long mirrored in a culture in which Father Knows Least, from Fred Flintstone to Homer Simpson. We diminish with faint praise; dads still get points for returning children at the end of the day with all their limbs in place. But the more engaged fathers become, the more women have to reckon with what a true parenting partnership would look like. Maternal condescension only really took hold in the modern age, when we turned parenting into a profession with its own implicit peer-review boards and competitive frenzy.
- (archaic, non-derogatory) Courtesy, affability of a superior towards an inferior.
使用する際の注意点
- An already archaic usage that was listed first in dictionaries at the beginning of the 20th century was as a neutral or positive description of friendly socialization with one’s social inferiors. Now that the concept of social inferiority has largely fallen out of currency, so has this non-negative usage. Thus, in Pride and Prejudice, one character can say of another, "I need not say you will be delighted with her. She is all affability and condescension.”
同意語
