- 1偏執者。不是醫學上的「偏執狂」，而是對種族、宗教等懷成見、聽不進不同意見的人。
A bigot is a person with a hard, closed mind about other people — often about race, religion, or another group — who will not listen and treats those people as less. It is a strong, label; you use it in news, argument, and serious talk, not as a light joke. The related words are bigoted (the describing form) and bigotry (the attitude). Though actually a bigot is wider than a racist: racist names hate or about race, while a bigot may shut the door over faith, nation, or another difference. People sometimes throw the word too loosely at anyone they disagree with; that stretch makes it weaker, and it is worth keeping for the real closed-mind case.
組成From French bigot, once “a person who plays at being holy”. Scholars do not agree where the French word came from. The story told most often is that it began as a rude name for very religious Normans, from them saying “by God” so often — but that is only the most common guess, not a settled fact.
