fable词源

fable

fable: [13] The Indo-European base *bha- ‘speak’ has produced a wide range of English words, including (via Germanic) ban and (via Latin fārī ‘speak’) affable, confess, fairy, fame, fate, ineffable, infant, nefarious, and profess. Fable is a member of this latter group; it comes via Old French fable from Latin fābula ‘narrative, story’ (source also of English fabulous [15]), which was a derivative of fārī. Fib [17] is probably short for an earlier fible-fable ‘nonsense’, a fanciful reduplication of fable.=> affable, ban, confess, fabulous, fairy, fame, fate, fib, ineffable, infant, nefarious, profess, prophet

fable (n.)

c. 1300, \"falsehood, fictitious narrative; a lie, pretense,\" from Old French fable \"story, fable, tale; drama, play, fiction; lie, falsehood\" (12c.), from Latin fabula \"story, story with a lesson, tale, narrative, account; the common talk, news,\" literally \"that which is told,\" from fari \"speak, tell,\" from PIE root *bha- (2) \"speak\" (see fame (n.)). Restricted sense of \"animal story\" (early 14c.) comes from Aesop. In modern folklore terms, defined as \"a short, comic tale making a moral point about human nature, usually through animal characters behaving in human ways\" [\"Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore\"].
