• n. 卡菲尔人

对非洲黑人的蔑称，来自阿拉伯语kafir,异教徒，否认神存在的人，来自kafara,否认，隐藏。穆斯林对非伊斯兰教徒的称呼，尤其是基督徒，后英国人又借用该词指南非黑人，含较强冒犯意。

Kaffir (n.)

1790, from Arabic kafir "unbeliever, infidel, impious wretch," with a literal sense of "one who does not admit the blessings of God," from kafara "to cover up, conceal, deny, blot out." Technically, "non-Muslim," but in Ottoman times it came to be used almost exclusively for "Christian." Early English missionaries used it as an equivalent of "heathen" to refer to Bantus in South Africa (1792), from which use it came generally to mean "South African black" regardless of ethnicity, and to be a term of abuse since at least 1934.
