語源

From Ancient Greek ἰδιώτης (idiṓtēs, “person not involved in public affairs, layman”), from ἴδιος (ídios, “private”).

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: [ɪ.diˈoː.ta]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: [i.diˈɔː.ta]

名詞

idiōta m (genitive idiōtae); first declension

1. (derogatory) idiot, an ignorant, uneducated or illiterate person
2. (Medieval Latin) convert; conversus (lay brother)
3. (Medieval Latin) private person

使用する際の注意点

• (uneducated person): Sometimes used in a non-derogatory sense in Medieval Latin, partially influenced by a folk etymology deriving the term from idiōma, thus “one who speaks only their own language”, i.e., the vernacular and not Latin.
