名词 n.
-
The representation of the world.
— Such was the travail of Raymundus Lullius, in making that art which bears his name; not unlike to some books of typocosmy, which have been made since; being nothing but a mass of words of all arts, to give men countenance, that those which use the terms might be thought to understand the art; which collections are much like a fripper’s or broker’s shop, that hath ends of everything, but nothing of worth.
词源
From Ancient Greek τῠ́πος (tŭ́pos, “type”) + Ancient Greek κόσμος (kósmos, “world”) + -y.
