methodism の語源・成り立ち Etymology
method(方法)にism(主義)を加えた語。methodはギリシャ語 methodos(追求の道)から、meta-(後に)+ hodos(道)の合成語。18世紀にウェスレー兄弟が「規則正しい方法」で信仰生活を送ったことから、その一派をMethodistと呼んだ。関連語: method, methodical。
Methodism is formed from Methodist and the movement-forming suffix -ism, ultimately based on method. Method comes through Greek methodos, a “way of pursuit,” from elements associated with following a path. In eighteenth-century England, Methodist was applied to people connected with John and Charles Wesley who practiced religion in a notably organized and disciplined manner. The label later became the established name of the wider Protestant movement and its traditions.
