註釋
In the first edition of the American Heritage Dictionary 91 percent of the Usage Panel approved the use of internecine relating to internal struggle within a nation or organization that did not necessarily imply fatal or destructive conflict. The objection that had been overcome for most of the Panel was that internecine should imply such destruction because it came from the Latin word interneco, a variant of interneco, 「fought to the death, murderous,」 ultimately derived from nec3, 「to kill.」 Inter- in this compound is simply an intensive, supplying the notion of 「all the way to」 in the sense 「fought to the death.」 Internecine in English, first recorded in 1663, indeed meant 「deadly, destructive,」 but Samuel Johnson, inserting the word in his dictionary of 1755, thought that inter- meant 「mutual」 and so defined it as 「endeavoring mutual destruction.」 This definition set the word incorrectly on its present course, and when internecine was further extended simply to mean 「relating to internal struggle,」 the original error was compounded. However, the point is that the meaning of words can be changed by mistakes and that mistaken meanings adhere to words. Only an occasional etymologist points out that the emperor's new clothes are patched.
在美國經典辭書 第一版中, 百分之九十一的用法專題使用小組成員贊同internecine 與一個國家或組織內部的鬥爭有關, 但並不一定是致命的或有破壞性的衝突。為大多數小組成員說服的反對意見為internecine 應該暗指這種破壞, 因為它來源於拉丁詞internecinus , 是internecivus 的變體,意為「戰至死亡的,謀殺的」, 它最終來源於意為「殺害」的necare 。 在這個復合詞中inter- 只是簡單的一個強調成分, 在「戰至死亡的」這個意義上加上「一直」這個概念。在英語中internecine 最早記載於1663年, 確實意味著「致死的,破壞性的」, 但是塞繆爾·約翰遜在其1755年的字典中插入此詞,認為inter- 意為「共同的」, 並且將它定義為「竭力造成共同破壞的」。 這個定義造成此詞今日用法的不準確,而且當internecine 更進一步被簡單地引申為「關於內部鬥爭的」時, 其起源的錯誤就加重了。但是,重要的是詞的意思被錯誤改變並且為錯誤意思所追隨。只有偶爾的一個詞源學家指出「皇帝的新衣服打滿補丁」
