- 1大利拉（聖經《士師記》人物；常與參孫並提）
In the Old Testament (the Book of Judges), Delilah is the woman who gets close to Samson, a man famous for great strength. She keeps asking what makes him strong. When he finally tells her that his strength is in his hair, she has it cut off while he sleeps, and he becomes weak and is taken. The name was borrowed from Hebrew and is linked to the idea of someone. The story is so well known that older or literary English sometimes calls a woman a Delilah when she uses charm to trick a man and bring him down — that use is not everyday talk, and it can sound unfair if you throw it at a real person. For , treat it first as a name from that Bible story.
組成Borrowed from Hebrew דְּלִילָה (d'līla), “[she who] weakened”.
