註釋
In the Usage Panel survey done for the first edition of the American Heritage Dictionary (1969), 92 percent of the Panel approved of the use of hectic in its most familiar sense, 「characterized by feverish activity, confusion, or haste.」 The question was put to the Panel because in earlier usage that sense was sometimes deprecated as a loose extension of the term's meaning in medicine. Unless one has some medical knowledge one probably does not know the older medical uses of the term, for example, 「relating to an undulating fever, such as those accompanying tuberculosis,」 and unless one has some acquaintance with Middle English one would not recognize the first recorded instance of the word, etik, in a text written before 1398. The Middle English term comes from the Old French development of the Late Latin word hecticus, whose form helped reshape our word in the 16th century. Late Latin hecticus in turn comes from Greek hektikos, 「formed by habit or forming habit」 and 「consumptive,」 developing the last sense because of the chronic nature of tuberculous fevers. Thus a word that once simply meant 「habitual」 eventually had an English descendant used to refer to circumstances that would be undesirable if they were habitual.
在針對美國經典辭書 （1969年）第一版對用法專題使用小組的調查中， 92%的成員贊成hectic 一詞最常用的意思， 「以緊張的活動、忙亂或慌忙為特徵的」。之所以要向這些成員提這個問題，是因為作為該詞醫學含義的模糊延伸，這個意義有時不為人們所接受。除非某人有醫學方面的知識，否則他就很可能不知道這個詞在醫學方面的古老用法，比如「和起伏不定的熱病有關的，如肺結核的伴隨症」。另外，除非某人對中古英語有一度程度的瞭解，否則他也認不出1398年以前的一個文本中該詞的首例etik 。 這個中古英語單詞是由古法語經後期拉丁語hecticus 一詞的發展而來的， 其形式在16世紀幫助重新形成了這個單詞。而後期拉丁語中的這個詞hecticus 又是由希臘語中的 hektikos 一詞而來，這個詞在希臘語中意指「由習慣形成的或形成習慣的」及「患肺癆的，肺癆的」， 之所以得到最後的意思，是出於肺癆病的特性。這樣一來，原來只是表示「習慣性的」這個詞，傳到英語中最後竟變成了指一旦成為習慣則不被人所喜愛的情形
