유의어 사전

1. Creare (from κύρω) means, by one’s own will and creative power to call something out of nothing; gignere (γίγνεσθαι, γενέσθαι) by procreation or parturition; gignere is allied to generare only by procreation, and to parere (πεπαρεῖν, πείρειν, only by parturition. 2. Gignere is a usual expression, which represents procreation as a physical and purely animal act, and supposes copulation, conception, and parturition; whereas generare is a select expression, which represents procreation as a sublime godlike act, and supposes only creative power; hence, for the most part, homines et belluæ gignunt, natura et dii generant. And, Corpora gignuntur, poemata generantur. Cic. N. D. iii. 16. Herculem Jupiter genuit, is a mythological notice; but Legg. i. 9. Deus hominem generavit, is a metaphysical axiom. (v. 201.)
