Verb:
declare as sacred and forbidden来自澳洲岛国汤加土著语言tapu或者tabu，表示“被禁止的、神圣的、不允许的”等含义。实际上，这个词汇广泛存在于南太平洋波利尼西亚群岛包括夏威夷、斐济和毛利在内的土著语中。1777年，探险家詹姆斯·库克船长第一次将该词记录在自己的航海日志中。不过在汤加，taboo一词更多意味着“神圣”而不是“被禁止”，比如汤加王国首都所在的岛屿叫Tongatapu，意思就是Sacred South神圣的南方。由于神圣之物常常也是被禁止入内或不得随意谈论之物，所以taboo衍生出“禁忌”的含义。taboo words禁忌语taboo term禁忌词
