英文についての質問です。
Not until the Enlightenment did genius acquire its distinctly different, chief modern meaning: an individual who demonstrates exceptional intellectual or creative powers, whether inborn or acquired (or both). Homer, despite two millennia of veneration as a divinely inspired poet, did not become a 'genius' until the 18th century. This later usage derives from the Latin ingenium (not from genius), meaning 'natural disposition', 'innate ability', or 'talent'. It was already in wide currency in 1711, when Joseph Addison published an article on 'Genius' in his newly established journal The Spectator. 'There is no character more frequently given to a writer than that of being a genius', wrote Addison.
