单词 Sceledrus
释义

Sceledrus

Latin

Proper noun

Scēledrus m (genitive Scēledrī); second declension

  1. A male given name, character in the play Miles Gloriosus of Plautus.

Etymology

The name, which first appears in Plautus, does not seem to be coined in the usual way. It ought to be constituted from σκέλος skelos (leg) and ἕδρα hedra (chair/sitting). It may be partly from Latin scelus (crime) [1]

  1. Sceledrus cannot be definitely linked with any known Greek word. Some see a Latin derivation from scelus ("crime") and in fact there are puns in the play based on scelus (289, 330, 494). However, it would be unusual for a character to have a Latin-based name and Sceledrus is not a scoundrel, just dumb.
