语源
- mid 18th cent.: via Latin from Greek spastikos 'pulling', from span 'pull'
- The word spastic has been used in medical senses since the 18th century. In the 1970s and 1980s it became a term of abuse, used mainly by schoolchildren, directed towards any person regarded as incompetent or physically uncoordinated. Nowadays, the use of the word spastic, whether as a noun or as an adjective, is likely to cause offence, and it is preferable to use phrasing such as people suffering from cerebral palsy instead
