助记提示
1、pag- + -an.
2、该词的宗教含义的来源有两种说法；其一是：在罗马的城镇和城市普遍基督教化、改信基督教后，那些保守的乡下人、农村人依然信奉、忠诚于以前的神、古老的神，这些人相对而言自然就成了异教徒；其二是：该词在经典拉丁语中表示“村民，非战斗人员”之意（来源：from Late Latin paganus "pagan," in classical Latin "villager, rustic; civilian, non-combatant" noun use of adjective meaning "of the country, of a village," from pagus "country people; province, rural district," originally "district limited by markers," thus related to pangere "fix, fasten"），后来被基督教徒引申为“非基督教的守护者”，自然也就成了异教徒，指称异教徒了。
3. 谐音“培根”---- 培根是异教徒。
