Misotheismとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

名詞

misotheism (uncountable)

使用する際の注意点

The Greek compound is found in Aeschylus (Agamemnon 1090; compare dystheism). The English word appears as a nonce-coinage, used by T. De Quincey in 1846. Attested as worthy of revival due to having a newfound historical prevalence by Bernard Schweizer in 2002. The term's purported exclusion of atheists and agnostics disputed by Patheos in 2011.
