中文詞源
charisma 超凡魅力
來自PIE*gher, 鼓勵，使渴望，詞源同hortatory, Charis(美惠女神)。原為宗教用語，指上帝對人的仁愛，上帝的禮物或獎勵。后因19世紀德國社會學家Max Weber的使用使此詞賦上了世俗色彩。可能最終來自PIE*ker, 心，詞源同heart, courage, cordial.
英文詞源
- charisma (n.)
- "gift of leadership, power of authority," c. 1930, from German, used in this sense by Max Weber (1864-1920) in "Wirtschaft u. Gesellschaft" (1922), from Greek kharisma "favor, divine gift," from kharizesthai "to show favor to," from kharis "grace, beauty, kindness" (Charis was the name of one of the three attendants of Aphrodite) related to khairein "to rejoice at," from PIE root *gher- (5) "to desire, like" (see hortatory). More mundane sense of "personal charm" recorded by 1959.
Earlier, the word had been used in English with a sense of "grace, talent from God" (1875), directly from Latinized Greek; and in the form charism (plural charismata) it is attested with this sense in English from 1640s. Middle English, meanwhile, had karisme "spiritual gift, divine grace" (c. 1500).
