medieval
意味: Relating to the Middle Ages, the period of European history from roughly the 5th to the 15th century; informally, extremely old-fashioned or primitive.
The medieval period spans from the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 AD) to the Renaissance. It encompasses the development of feudalism, the Crusades, the Black Death, and the rise of nation-states. Medieval studies is a thriving academic field covering history, literature, art, and theology. In informal usage, 'medieval' is often used disparagingly to mean crude, brutal, or outdated — as in 'medieval attitudes towards women.' The variant spelling 'mediaeval' is rare in modern usage.
