单词 | -crat |
释义 | -crat, -ocrat, suffix formerly also -crate, immediately after F. -crate in aristocrate, démocrate, formed from aristocratique, démocratique, with the sense ‘partisan of an aristocracy or aristocratic government, of a democracy or democratic government’. By an easy transition, aristocrate came at the French Revolution to be used for ‘a member of the aristocracy’, after which -(o)crat is now used in such formations as plutocrat, member of a plutocracy, cottonocrat, member of the cottonocracy, etc. Autocrat, F. autocrate, may have been formed directly on, or with reference to, Gr. αὐτοκρατής, but other cognate words were in earlier use, which see in their places. Hence -cratic, cratical. |
