词源

"from French Philistin, via late Latin from Greek Philistinos, from Hebrew pělištī. Sense 2 arose as a result of a confrontation between town and gown in Jena, Germany, in the late 17th cent.; a sermon on the conflict quoted:  ‘the Philistines are upon you’. (Judges 16), which led to an association between the townspeople and those hostile to culture."
