dogmata dogma的復數形 dogma的復數形 Dogma \ Dog" ma\ ( d[ o^] g" m[. a]), n.; pl. E. { Dogmas} ( d[ o^] g" m[. a] z), L. { Dogmata} ( d[ o^] g" m[. a]* t[. a]). [ L. dogma, Gr. do` gma, pl. do` gmata, fr. dokei^ n to think, seem, appear; akin to L. decet it is becoming. Cf. { Decent}.] 1. That which is held as an opinion; a tenet; a doctrine. [ 1913 Webster] The obscure and loose dogmas of early antiquity. -- Whewell. [ 1913 Webster] 2. A formally stated and authoritatively settled doctrine; a definite, established, and authoritative tenet. [ 1913 Webster] 3. A doctrinal notion asserted without regard to evidence or truth; an arbitrary dictum. Syn: tenet; opinion; proposition; doctrine. Usage: -- { Dogma}, { Tenet}. A tenet is that which is maintained as true with great firmness; as, the tenets of our holy religion. A dogma is that which is laid down with authority as indubitably true, especially a religious doctrine; as, the dogmas of the church. A tenet rests on its own intrinsic merits or demerits; a dogma rests on authority regarded as competent to decide and determine. Dogma has in our language acquired, to some extent, a repulsive sense, from its carrying with it the idea of undue authority or assumption. This is more fully the case with its derivatives dogmatical and dogmatism. [ 1913 Webster]
