Nguồn gốc từ

Borrowed from anathema (curse, person cursed, offering), itself a borrowing from Ancient Greek ἀνάθεμα, from ἀνατίθημι (to set upon, offer as a votive gift), from ἀνά (upon) + τίθημι (to put, place). The Ancient Greek term was influenced by Hebrew חרם, leading to the sense of "accursed," especially in Ecclesiastical writers.
