anthropophagy (n.)[anthropophagy 词源字典]: "cannibalism," 1630s, from French anthropophagie, from Greek anthropophagia "an eating of men," from anthropophagos "man-eating; a man-eater," from anthropo- + stem of phagein "to eat" (see -phagous). Related: Anthropophagic; anthropophagism.[anthropophagy etymology, anthropophagy origin, 英语词源]
man-eater (n.): also maneater, c. 1600, "cannibal," from man (n.) + eater. From 1837 in reference to animals (sharks); 1862 of tigers; 1906 of women. Related: Man-eating.
ogre (n.): "man-eating giant," 1713, hogre (in a translation of a French version of the Arabian Nights), from French ogre, first used in Perrault's "Contes," 1697, and perhaps formed by him from Italian orco "demon, monster," from Latin Orcus "Hades," perhaps via an Italian dialect. In English, more literary than colloquial. The conjecture that it is from Byzantine Ogur "Hungarian" or some other version of that people's name (perhaps via confusion with the bloodthirsty Huns), lacks historical evidence. Related: Ogrish; ogrishness.
