This article provides a list of definitions of the term "pogrom". The term originated as a loanword from the Russian verb громи́ть ((:ɡrɐˈmʲitʲ)), meaning "to destroy, to wreak havoc, to demolish violently." The events in Odessa during Holy Week in 1871 were the first to be widely called a "pogrom" in Russian, and the events of 1881-2 introduced the term into common usage throughout the world. Numerous definitions of the term have been proposed by scholars and dictionary publishers, but use of the term is inconsistent. Research into pogroms frequently requires consideration of the precise meaning of the word. Werner Bergmann writes that "there is as yet no consensus on terminology here among researchers", that "there has as yet been little interlinked research into pogroms" and that pogrom research has not yet focused on "distinguishing pogroms from other, closely related forms of ethnic violence". A number of other scholars, such as John Klier, Henry Abramson, David Engel, Paul R. Brass and Neal Pease, have discussed the consistency of the application of the term and the implications of its usage. The term is sometimes used as "a generic term in English for all forms of collective violence directed against Jews", however usage of the word in this wider sense has been disputed. ==List of definitions== According to the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' (OED), the word pogrom entered English from Yiddish which borrowed it from Russian. The OED gives two meanings for the word: and The first recorded use in English by the OED of the first meaning is in 1891 as a borrowed word, and it had become fully Anglicised by 1921. The OED records the first use of the second meaning as 1906 and that it had become fully Anglicised by 1975. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Definitions of pogrom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
