Nazwy syfilisu w dawnej polszczyźnie
Journal Title: Przegląd Humanistyczny - Year 2017, Vol 61, Issue 3
Abstract
In the article, the olden names of daglock from 15th to 19th century timeline were analysed and collected from all available lexicographical sources. The material was ordered based upon the ‘word-form’ structure and the etymology of researched appellations. It turned out that particular units were created in correlation with four primary senses such as: 1. ‘the symptoms of syphilis’, 2. ‘the place of epidemic pandemic’, 3. ‘the carrier with syphilis’, 4. ‘mythological creature causing syphilis’. Among forty two investigated units, currently only two are preserved: kiła and tryper. It can be acknowledged that the main causes of this phenomenon are medicine evolution and inhibition of the epidemic of syphilis as a primary principle of medical intervention. The dominating factor in this sketch is the analysis of contexts in which they were situated. The author examines the names with the meaning ‘syphilis’ in the history of the Polish language. Upon the statement of using this word in the dictionary registering the Old Polish, we can deduce the meaningful value of it in the given time.<br/><br/>
