註釋
「Dentist figures [appears] now in our newspapers, and may do well enough for a French puffer [a writer of inflated advertisements]; but we fancy Rutter is content with being called a tooth-drawer. 」 In this quotation from the September 15, 1759, issue of the Edinburgh Chronicle we see dentist in its infancy as an English word, trailing evidence of its French origin.If we had formed a word in English like dentist, which comes from the French word dent, 「tooth,」 we would have toothist, a word that does not exist. But toothist and tooth-drawer lack the elegance of the French borrowing dentist, an elegance that is shared by other borrowings from French during the past four centuries, such as ballet, champagne, coquette, coterie, and negligee.
「Dentist 現在在我們的報紙裡出現了， 可能常是法國吹噓者宣傳的對象；但是，我們猜測魯特會對被稱為tooth-drawer 的東西感到滿意」。 在這段引自1759年9月15日的雜誌愛丁堡年記 的話中， 我們看到dentist 最初是作為一個英語單詞產生的， 它卻起源於法語。如果我們當時在英語中構造了象dentist （它源於法語 dent ）的這樣一個英語詞「tooth」， 我們將會得到一個根本就不存在的形式：toothist 。 但是toothist 和 tooth-drawer 缺乏法語借用詞 dentist 的高雅， 這種高雅為其他在這四百年裡從法語中借用的詞所共有，如ballet，champagne，coquette，coterie 和 negligee
