eu.nuchism
n.(名詞)
<注釋>The wordeunuch does not derive, as one might think, from the operation that produced a eunuch but rather from one of his functions. Eunuch goes back to the Greek wordeunoukhos, .a castrated person employed to take charge of the women of a harem and act as chamberlain..The Greek word is derived fromeunô, .bed,. and ekhein, .to keep.. A eunuch, of course, was ideally suited to guard the bedchamber of women.
eunuch 這個詞不象人們所想的那樣源自於閹人的手術, 而是源自於它所起的作用。 Eunuch追溯到古希臘的詞eunoukhos , 意為.一個負責侍候後宮女眷,並作為國王內侍的被 * 了的人.。古希臘的詞源出於eune, 意為.床.,和 ekhein .照料., 一個太監當然是保衛女眷臥室的最理想的人
