• n. 腓尼基人；腓尼基語
• adj. 腓尼基的；腓尼基人的

來自拉丁語Phoenice,來自希臘語Phoinike,腓尼基人，字面意思可能為紫色的土地，因腓尼基在當(dāng)時(shí)以出產(chǎn)紫色的顏料聞名希臘，紫色在古代為高貴之色。腓尼基人為古代閃族人的一支，生活在今地中海東岸黎巴嫩和敘利亞沿海一帶，在古代文明極其先進(jìn)和發(fā)達(dá)，腓尼基人出于商業(yè)貿(mào)易的需要，創(chuàng)造了腓尼基字母，為現(xiàn)在廣泛使用的希臘字母和拉丁字母的祖先。

Phoenician (n.)

late 14c., from Middle French phenicien, from Latin Phoenice, from Greek Phoinike "Phoenicia" (including Carthage), perhaps literally "land of the purple" (i.e., source of purple dye, the earliest use of which was ascribed to the Phoenicians by the Greeks). Identical with phoenix (q.v.), but the relationship is obscure. In reference to a language from 1836; as an adjective from c. 1600.
