Mandaeismとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Aramaic 𐡌𐡍𐡃𐡏 (manda, “knowledge”) + -ism (from Ancient Greek -ισμός (-ismós)).

Although Mandaeism is the most widespread spelling in English, it is a hypercorrection. The expected derivation through Greek Μανδαϊσμός (Mandaïsmós) and Latin Mandaismus is Mandaism (compare with Judaism, from Ancient Greek Ἰουδαισμός (Ioudaismós), or with archaism, from Ancient Greek ἀρχαϊσμός (arkhaïsmós)).

発音
