predicament词源

predicament

predicament: [14] Predicament was originally a technical term in logic, denoting a ‘category of attributes which may be asserted of a thing’. It broadened out in the 16th century to ‘situation’, but it does not seem to have been until the 18th century that the specific modern sense ‘awkward situation’ became established. The word comes from late Latin praedicāmentum, a derivative of praedicāre ‘proclaim’ (source of English preach and predicate [16]). This was a compound verb formed from the prefix prae- ‘in front of’, hence ‘in public’ and dicāre ‘make known’.=> preach, predicate

predicament (n.)

early 15c., \"category, class; one of Aristotle\'s 10 categories,\" from Medieval Latin predicamentum, from Late Latin praedicamentum \"quality, category, something predicted, that which is asserted,\" from Latin praedicatus, past participle of praedicare (see predicate). Praedicamentum is a loan-translation of Greek kategoria, Aristotle\'s word. The meaning \"unpleasant situation\" is first recorded 1580s.
