助记提示
1. 哥布林与地精(Gnome)很相似，但却不是相同的生物。不过，由于传说的流传上的差异，使不少人都把这两种生命混淆。其实他们是有所不同的。
2. 地精（Gnome，或音译为诺姆）是一种在欧洲的传说中出现的妖怪，身材矮小，头戴红色帽子，身穿伐木衣，经常在地下活动，成群结队出没。由于他的特性与其他传说生物很近似，他亦经常被错误当作是精灵、哥布林或矮人。Gnome语源：希腊语γνομη(gnome）知识，观点。欧美的家家户户皆有地精造型的装饰品。地精也被视为代表土的元素四精灵之一。
3. 四大元素精灵: 火精灵、风精灵、水精灵、地精灵。

英文词源
- gnome
- gnome: [18] Gnome comes via French from Latin gnomus, a word coined by the 16thcentury Swiss physician Paracelsus for a type of being that lives in the earth, in the same way that fish live in water. It seems to have been a pure invention on his part, and is not based on or related to Greek gnómē ‘opinion, judgment’ (source of English gnomic [19] and connected with agnostic, diagnosis, and know). The term gnomes of Zürich for ‘Swiss financiers’ is first recorded in the early 1960s.
- gnome (n.1)
- "dwarf-like earth-dwelling spirit," 1712, from French gnome (16c.), from Medieval Latin gnomus, used 16c. in a treatise by Paracelsus, who gave the name pigmaei or gnomi to elemental earth beings, possibly from Greek *genomos "earth-dweller" (compare thalassonomos "inhabitant of the sea"). A less-likely suggestion is that Paracelsus based it on the homonym that means "intelligence" (see gnome (n.2)).
Popularized in England in children's literature from early 19c. as a name for red-capped German and Swiss folklore dwarfs. Garden figurines of them were first imported to England late 1860s from Germany; garden-gnome attested from 1933. Gnomes of Zurich for "international financiers" is from 1964. - gnome (n.2)
- "short, pithy statement of general truth," 1570s, from Greek gnome "judgment, opinion; maxim, the opinion of wise men" (see gnomic).
