eunuchnoun
hoạn quan
/ˈjuːnək//ˈjuːnək/The word "eunuch" originates from the Greek language, with the word "eunoukhos" (εὐνοῦχος) meaning "a castrated male servant." The Greek term is derived from the verb "eunouchos" (εὐνοῦχος), which means "to be made androgynous" or "to be made effeminate." In ancient Greece, eunuchs were often castrated as part of their initiation into the service of the gods or as a punishment for disobeying the law. The term "eunuch" was later adopted into Latin as "eunuchus" and then into various European languages, taking on the connotation of a castrated male servant or attendant. In modern times, the term is often used to refer to a high-ranking official or advisor in a palace or royal court.
