Euphemism appeared almost as early as language was produced. It has different definitions from different scholars. From Encyclopedia we can know: the wordeuphemismcomes from theGreekwordεφημα(euphemia) means "the use of words of good omen", which in turn is derived from the Greek root-words e(ε) means "good, well" andphmē(φμη) means "prophetic speech; rumor, talk". The opposite of euphemism roughly equates todysphemism. The termeuphemismitself was used as a euphemism by the ancient Greeks, meaning "to keep a holy silence" (speaking well by not speaking at all). We can find some specific definition in different books. In some current English dictionaries, which define euphemism as follows:

(1). A polite, tactful, or less explicit term used to avoid the direct naming of an unpleasant painful or frightening reality. (Websters Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, 1961)

(2). Euphemism is the substitution of mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh or blunt. (The Random House College Dictionary, Stein, 1979)
