Eden 伊甸園；（比喻）樂土、樂園｜字脈

1伊甸園；（比喻）樂土、樂園
In the Bible story, Eden — often “the Garden of Eden” — is the garden where Adam and Eve, the first humans, lived at the beginning. It is pictured as a place of happiness, safety, and innocence, before things went wrong. People also use Eden as a picture-word for any place that feels perfect and unspoiled: “a little Eden.” That second use is common in writing and in ordinary speech, not only in church. Some people and some places are named Eden too. The story-word and the place-name are the same spelling. The word comes from Biblical Hebrew; it may go back further to a word for a plain or garden, but that older step is a scholarly guess, not a sure one.

組成From Biblical Hebrew ʿḗḏen, perhaps from Sumerian edin, “steppe, garden.” The Hebrew Bible source is sure; the Sumerian link is only “perhaps.”
