…The origin of the word is said to be either the goddess Ashtoreth-Astarte, or the ancient Egyptian tarut (meaning "the one who is questioned, I long for an answer"), derived from the ancient Persian tarisk, which is linked to the theory of its origin (A.Court de Géblin) that it was created as a divining device to predict the rise and fall of the waters of the Nile. There is also a theory of Hebrew origin (E. Levi) because the 22 cards of the Tarot's Major Arcana correspond to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and there is also a theory of Indian origin because the design of the Minor Arcana is reminiscent of the ancient Indian chess game Chatur-anga. *Some of the terminology used in reference to "Court de Géblin, A." is listed below.

…語源はアシュトレト=アスタルテ女神とも,古代ペルシア語のタリスクtariskから派生した古代エジプト語のタルートtarut(〈問いかけられた者。余は答えを切望する〉の意)ともいわれ,後者はナイル川の水の増減を占う卜占装置として発生したという起源説(クール・ド・ジェブランA.Court de Géblin)と結びつく。またタロットの〈大アルカナ〉22枚は,ヘブライ語のアルファベット22文字にそれぞれ対応しているところからヘブライ起源説(E.レビ)があり,さらに古代インドのチェス遊戯チャトゥル・アンガchatur‐angaに特に〈小アルカナ〉のデザインを思わせるものがあることから,インド起源説もある。… ※「Court de Géblin,A.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
