music 英文词源

music

music: [13] Etymologically, music comes from the ‘muses’, Greek goddesses who inspired poets, painters, musicians, etc. The word traces its history back via Old French musique and Latin mūsica to Greek mousiké, a noun use of mousikós ‘of the muses’, an adjective derived from mousa ‘muse’. The specialization of the word’s meaning began in Greek – first to ‘poetry sung to music’, and subsequently to ‘music’ alone.
=> muse, museum

music (n.)

mid-13c., musike, from Old French musique (12c.) and directly from Latin musica "the art of music," also including poetry (also source of Spanish musica, Italian musica, Old High German mosica, German Musik, Dutch muziek, Danish musik), from Greek mousike (techne) "(art) of the Muses," from fem. of mousikos "pertaining to the Muses," from Mousa "Muse" (see muse (n.)). Modern spelling from 1630s. In classical Greece, any art in which the Muses presided, but especially music and lyric poetry.

The use of letters to denote music pitch probably is at least as old as ancient Greece, as their numbering system was ill-suited to the job. Natural scales begin at C (not A) because in ancient times the minor mode was more often used than the major one, and the natural minor scale begins at A.

Music box is from 1773, originally "barrel organ;" music hall is from 1842, especially "hall licensed for musical entertainment" (1857). To face the music "accept the consequences" is from 1850; the exact image is uncertain, one theory ties it to stage performers, another to cavalry horses having to be taught to stay calm while the regimental band plays. To make (beautiful) music with someone "have sexual intercourse" is from 1967.
