“术语”词源试探

Traceability of “Shuyu”

19世纪前期,在马礼逊的词典中,英语中的term被翻译成"名字眼",这可以看作"术语"一词出现的前奏。甲午战争后,在大批日语词传入中国的大背景下,"术语"一词在章炳麟的译著中悄然出现。

The Chinese name for term was mingziyan（名字眼） at first,then from xueshuyu（学术语）to dingyu（定语）,at last to shuyu（术语）. As a Japanese loanword shuyu（術語,じあっこ） is firstly recorded in Zhang Binglin＇s Sociology in Qing Dynasty.
