Though actually, these are real, old books; they are not “fake Bible.” English later grew a looser cousin, apocryphal, for a famous story that is probably not true. That everyday meaning sits beside this name, but it is not what the Apocrypha themselves are.
Though actually不過其實, these are real, old books這些都是真實存在的古書; they are not "fake Bible."它們不是「假聖經」. English later grew a looser cousin, apocryphal英文後來又長出一個比較鬆散的親戚字apocryphal, for a famous story that is probably not true用來指一個很有名、但大概不是真的的故事. That everyday meaning sits beside this name這個日常用法和這個名字並存, but it is not what the Apocrypha themselves are但那不是Apocrypha本身的意思
組成From Greek apókruphos, “hidden, obscure,” hence books of unknown or unofficial standing: apó (“from, away”) + krúptō (“to hide”). Latin passed it on as “not approved for public reading.” English took it from there.
