Epitaph (W3)
Dt. "Epitaph", Frz. "épitaphe", Engl. "Epitaph" (14. Jh., altfrz. "epitaphe" (12. Jh.)), (auch "Epitaphium") = dt. "Aufschrift", "Denkmal", "Gedächtnismal für einen Verstorbenen", "Gedenktafel" (Gedenktafel mit Inschrift für einen Verstorbenen an einer Kirchenwand), "Grabinschrift", "Grabmal mit Inschrift", "Grabrede", "Grabschrift", geht zurück auf altfrz. "epitaphe", lat. "epitaphium" und griech. "epitaphion", "epitáphion", heißt wörtlich dt. "zum Grab Gehörendes", "zur Bestattung gehörendes", und setzt sich zusammen aus griech. "epi" = dt. "darauf", "daneben", "bei", "darüber" und griech. "táphos" = dt. "Bestattung".Als Wurzel für griech. "táphos" wird ide. "*dhembh-" = engl. "to bury" postuliert.
Es gibt ein weiteres Wort in dem man griech. "táphos" finden kann: dt. "Kenotaph", "Zenotaph", engl. "cenotaph", lat. "cenotaphium", griech. "kenotáphion". Zusammen mit griech. "kenós" = dt. "leer" ergibt sich "ein leeres Grabmal zur Erinnerung an einen Toten, der an anderer Stelle begraben ist".
Etwa im 14. Jh. fing man damit an, einen Verstorbenen mit einer Inschrift an einer Wand oder einem Pfeiler oder auch an der Außenmauer von Kirchen zu ehren. Daraus entwickelte sich fast eine eigene Kunstform.
Der 02. November wurde übrigens (vor mindestens 10 Jahren) zum "Plan Your Epitaph Day" ausgerufen.
