☑️ assassinate (v.) 暗殺,行刺

This is A podcast 的IG上線囉!到@thisis_apodcast 看更多單字註解和Austin的延伸補充。

📖 to murder (a usually prominent person) by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons


#️⃣ 單字來源與延伸:

assassinate 從 assassin (當作名詞代表暗殺者) 而來,這個字最初描述的是西元8到14世紀之間波斯的尼扎里教徒當中的暗殺團體 ,他們是什葉派伊斯蘭教的第二大分支,當時由主領 Hassan-i Sabbah 領到的小組以Assassin為人所知,並對基督教十字軍菁英進行政治刺殺,這個字與大麻相關毒品 hashish 有關,有人說他們進行刺殺前都會吸食hashish。

assassinate 於1600傳入英語,莎士比亞 (William Shakespeare) 於名作馬克白 (Macbeth) 中就開始使用這個字了。而assassination 為本字的名詞用法。
