adj.無過失的,清白的 [ free from moral blemish or impurity; pure]

ps.1

macul 是從L. macula "spot, stain."而來的

adj.【哲學用語--指某心智活動】只發生在心裡的,不會對外界有作用  [ Philosophy. (of a mental act) taking place within the mind of the subject and having no effect outside of it. C.f. transeunt .]

ex. a cognition is an immanent act of mind.

ps.immanent 的相對的單字是transeunt,它的意思是mental act會對外界有effect。

 

adj.【神學用語--指神】存在整個宇宙、時間中 [Theology. (of the Deity) indwelling the universe, time, etc. C.f. transcendent ]

ex. believed in a God immanent in humans.

ps. 簡單說一下 immanent 與 transcendent的概念,有人認為"上帝"與"上帝所創作的物體"是有不可橫過的鴻溝,這也是transcendent的概念,上帝是高高在上的。另外一種觀點就是"上帝"也存在於"上帝所創的事物"中,所以每個人、動物都有上帝的成分在,這就是immanent的觀點。(xination非此方面的專業,有錯誤請跟我說...)

reveiw (在p.96) or see update 在 p. 319

mun可以是很多意思,因為它可以源於很多的拉丁文,比方說

**字根mun當 寬大 ;責任; 公共 來解

1.由拉丁字 L.mūnus ;gift munificentia 其中的 munific == generous, liberal

mun-i-fic-ent     adj.慷慨的 [mun禮物+fic做-->做給禮物的-->慷慨的]

mun-i-fic-ence      n.慷慨

 

2.拉丁字 L. mūni a ;duty municipalis = of a citizen of a free town

mun-i-cip-al     adj.市政的

(事後更正.. munia是munus的複數型...所以都是相同的意思的,

應該把說munus有三個意思比較正確"public office, duty, or gift"...2010/03/07)

 

 

**字根muni當 加強 來解   (form L.munire; to fortify) fort

munition     n.軍火、彈藥

muniment   n.契據 [加強關係之物]

from wiki--免疫系統是生物體內一個能辨識出「非自體物質」(通常是外來的病菌)、從而將之消滅或排除的整體工程之統稱。它能從自身的細胞或組織辨識出非自體物質(小從病毒,大至寄生蟲)。所有植物與動物都具有先天免疫系統。免疫系統並非完全有效,因為病菌或寄生蟲能不斷演化來感染宿主。
