ps.什麼是heresy

比方說，基督教中的"三位一體"的概念，其實是在公元3至4世紀開始逐漸發展。經過一連串的辯論和大公會議後，才最終得以確立為正統的教義。

不過也有一些教派是否定此教義的，因此他們受到正統教派的攻擊，而被稱為heresy。

再例如，中世紀的獵女巫，因為巫術被正統教派認為是heresy，ex在《女巫之槌》一書中寫到「巫術是來自肉體的色慾，這在女人身上是永難滿足的，魔鬼知道女人喜愛肉體樂趣，於是以性的愉悅誘使她們效忠」

字源： from L. hæresis, "school of thought, philosophical sect," used by Christian writers for "unorthodox sect or doctrine," from Gk. hairesis "a taking or choosing," from haireisthai "take, seize," middle voice of hairein "to choose," of unknown origin.

簡單的說heresy這個字，是從拉丁文發展而來的"指的是某一派的思想"，是基督教的作家用來指"非正統的教義"用的。後來就演化成。基本上，heresy的 here-應該解釋成"take, seize"，不過為了好記憶，聯想成or解釋成"異"也是可以通的。

hermit

n.隱士 [A person who has withdrawn from society and lives a solitary existence; a recluse.]

聯想： her + MIT ：她在MIT苦讀，過著像隱士(hermit)的生活

ps. hermit crab = 寄居蟹

hermetic

adj.密封的 [ made airtight by fusion or sealing.]

ex. A hermetic seal is used at the top of this sample box.
這個樣品盒的口用密封條封著

adj.鍊金術的 [常用 Hermetic--of, pertaining to, or characteristic of occult science, esp. alchemy .]

ex. Hermetic art.
鏈金術

adj.神祕的;深奧的

from Gk. Hermes(愛馬仕，沒錯~就是知名的品牌-- 官網 )

神使Hermes，他是宙斯與瑪亞的兒子，也是宙斯的傳令官，像是在《蘇菲的世界》一書中的那隻狗的名字就是漢密士(譯名)，名字就是利用此來源唷。Hermes也是奧林匹斯十二主神之一，他是邊界及穿越邊界的旅行者之神，亦掌管牧羊人與牧牛人，辯論與靈舌，詩與文字，體育，重量與度量，發明與商業，他也是狡猾的小偷和騙子之神。

那 Hermes為什麼會是"密封的"、"鍊金術的"的詞源呢，原因是Hermes是發明"密封玻璃"的神，這個密封玻璃被用來在鍊金術中。

Hermes supposedly invented the process of making a glass tube airtight

(a process in alchemy) using a secret seal .
