- 1異端分子、異端者（宗教上持不被接受教義的人；口語也可諷刺「唱反調的人」）
A heretic is a person whose beliefs go against the official teaching of a church or a religious group. The teaching they reject is called heresy; the person who holds it is the heretic. For a long time this was a very heavy word: churches used it of people they said were dangerous, and in some places heretics were punished, locked up, or even killed. You still hear it that way in history and in serious talk about faith. People also stretch it. In a family, a club, or an office, calling someone a heretic can mean, with a half-smile, that they will not follow the usual idea — the one person who likes a different team, a different rule, a different way of doing the job. That looser use is informal and a bit sharp; it is not a kind word if you aim it at someone’s real religion. The word is about a person, not about the belief itself.
組成From Middle English heretyk / heretike, from Old French eretique, from Medieval Latin haereticus, from Ancient Greek hairetikós, “able to choose; causing a split in a group,” from hairéō, “to choose.”
