prophet (n.)
12世纪晚期, “为神说话的人; 预言者, 灵感的传道者”, 来自古法语 prophete, profete “先知, 占卜者” (11世纪, 现代法语 prophète), 直接来自拉丁语 propheta, 来自希腊语 prophētēs (多里克 prophatēs) “翻译, 发言人, 宣告者. 预言家” (如夏蝉), 但特别是“为神, 受启发的传道者或教师说话的人”, 来自 pro “之前” (来自PIE词根 *per- (1) “向前”, 因此是“前面, 之前” )+ phanai “说话” 的词根(来自PIE词根 *bha- (2) “说, 讲, 说” ).
这个希腊词在七十士译本中用于希伯来文 nabj “占卜者, 灵感的先知”. 早期的拉丁文作家将希腊文 prophetes, 与拉丁文 vates, 但拉丁化的形式 propheta, 在后古典时代占主导地位, 主要是由于基督教作家, 可能是由于异教的联想 vates. 在英语中, 意思是“旧约先知作家” 是从14世纪末开始的, 非宗教意义是从1848年开始的; 穆罕默德在1610年代使用(翻译阿拉伯语 al-nabiy, 有时也 al-rasul, 正确的是“使者” ). 这个拉丁词在古英语中的词汇是 witga. The Prophets 对于“旧约的先知书” 是由14世纪后期的.
