1. 貴格會（Quakers，通用名稱），又名教友派、公誼會（ the Religious Society of Friends，正式名稱），興起于17世紀(jì)中期的英國及其美洲殖民地，創(chuàng)立者為喬治·福克斯。“貴格”為英語Quaker一詞之音譯，意為顫抖者。
2. 因貴格會建立之初，在聚會時常有人激動得顫抖而得名，究其名稱由來，一種說法是其建立者喬治·福克斯在一次宗教裁判時，警告法官將在上帝面前顫抖，另外的人士則認(rèn)為該名字與身體的顫抖或是貴格會的宗教經(jīng)驗有關(guān)。而公誼會（Friends Church）一名，是根據(jù)約翰福音十五章13-15節(jié)之經(jīng)訓(xùn)而來的。耶穌說：”人為朋友舍命，人的愛心沒有比這個大的。你們?nèi)糇裥形宜愿赖模褪俏业呐笥蚜恕Ｒ院笪也辉俜Q你們?yōu)槠腿耍蚱腿瞬恢乐魅怂龅氖拢晃夷朔Q你們?yōu)榕笥选！?/div>

英文詞源
- Quaker (n.)
- 1651, said to have been applied to them in 1650 by Justice Bennett at Derby, from George Fox's admonition to his followers to "tremble at the Word of the Lord;" but the word was used earlier of foreign sects given to fits of shaking during religious fervor, and that is likely the source here. Either way, it never was an official name of the Religious Society of Friends. The word in a literal sense is attested from early 15c., an agent noun from quake (v.).
There is not a word in the Scripture, to put David's condition into rime and meeter: sometimes he quaked and trembled, and lay roaring all the day long, that he watered his bed with his tears: and how can you sing these conditions (but dishonour the Lord) and say all your bones quake, your flesh trembled, and that you water your bed with your tears? when you live in pride and haughtiness, and pleasure, and wantonness;" etc. ["A Brief Discovery of a threefold estate of Antichrist Now Extant in the world, etc.," an early Quaker work, London, 1653]
Quaker gun (1809, American English) was a log painted black and propped up to look from a distance like a cannon, so called for the sect's noted pacifism. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been known as the Quaker City since at least 1824. Related: Quakerish; Quakeress ("a female Quaker"); Quakerism.
