QUÉ SIGNIFICA SYCOPHANT EN INGLÉS

Sicofante

Sycophant

La palabra sicofante tiene su origen en el sistema legal de Atenas clásica. Al no tener policía y sólo un número limitado de fiscales oficiales, la mayoría de los casos legales de la época fueron presentados por litigantes privados. Sin embargo, en el siglo V a. C., esta práctica había dado lugar a abusos por parte de los litigantes que llevaron a juicio injustificado. Tal litigante fue llamado un "adulador". La palabra conserva el significado de "un informante" en griego moderno y francés; Pero en el inglés moderno, el significado de la palabra se ha trasladado a la de un "adulador insincero".

The word sycophant has its origin in the legal system of Classical Athens. Having no police force and only a limited number of officially appointed public prosecutors, most legal cases of the time were brought by private litigants. By the fifth century BC, however, this practice had given rise to abuse by litigants who brought unjustified prosecutions. Such a litigant was called a “sycophant.” The word retains the meaning of "an informer" in Modern Greek and French; but in modern English, the meaning of the word has shifted to that of an "insincere flatterer."...
