perdition 堕入地狱

来自拉丁语perditus,毁灭，崩溃，来自per-,完全的，-dit,给予，词源同data,edit.字面意思即完全的给予，委婉语或词义贬义化，用于神学用语指精神崩溃或灵魂堕入地狱。

perdition (n.): mid-14c., "fact of being lost or destroyed," from Old French perdicion "loss, calamity, perdition" of souls (11c.) and directly from Late Latin perditionem (nominative perditio) "ruin, destruction," noun of action from past participle stem of Latin perdere "do away with, destroy; lose, throw away, squander," from per- "through" (here perhaps with intensive or completive force, "to destruction") + dare "to put" (see date (n.1)). Special theological sense of "condition of damnation, spiritual ruin, state of souls in Hell" (late 14c.) has gradually extinguished the general use of the word.
