philauty
語源
Based on Ancient Greek φιλαυτία (philautía, “self-love, self-regard”), fopm φιλέω (philéō, “I love”), and αὐτός (autós, “self”).
名詞
philauty (uncountable)
- (obsolete) Selfishness, self-esteem, vanity
- 1721, Nathan Bailey, Divers Proverbs[1]
- 1721, Richard Chenevix Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament[2]
- The φίλαυτος is exactly our 'selfish', and φίλαυτία 'selfishness'; but this contemplated rather as an undue sparing of self
and providing things easy and pleasant for self, than as harshness and rigour toward others. Thus φίλαυτος is joined with
φιλοψυχος by Plutarch, this last epithet indicating one loving his life overmuch. Before the English language had generated
the word 'selfishness,' which it did not until the middle of the seventeenth century, there was an attempt made to supply
an evident want in our ethical terminology by aid of philauty; thus see Beaumont's Psyche, passim, and other
similar poems. Philauty however, never succeeded in obtaining any firm footing among us, and 'suicism', which was
a second attempt, as little; an appeal to the Latin proving as unsuccessful as that to the Greek. Nor was the deficiency
effectually supplied till the Puritan divines, drawing upon our native stock of words, brought in 'selfish' and 'selfishness'.
