[编辑]替代寫法
[编辑]詞源
[编辑]繼承自古英語 Grēcas (“希臘人”),Crēcas的變體,來自原始西日耳曼語 *Krēkō,來自拉丁語 Graecus,源頭不明,可能衍生自地名Γραῖα (Graîa)或來自部落名Graii的其他古巴爾幹語族形式,參見英語維基百科條目Griko、Names of the Greeks。希臘語中有個同源詞Γραικός (Graikós),是從神話時代的祖先Γραίοι (Graíoi, “格瑞西安族”)而來。日爾曼語族同源詞包括荷蘭語 Griek、德語 Grieche。英語和日爾曼語族同源詞中的⟨g⟩,是受到法語 grec和古典拉丁語 Graecus的影響下恢復的。
該形容詞可追溯到14世紀的中古英語,取代了古英語 Grēċisċ (“希臘式的”)和早期中古英語 Gregeis。指兄弟會跟姐妹會,來自早期希臘字母的截斷。
