Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English apocrypha, apocrifa, apocrif, from apocryphus (secret, not approved for public reading), from Ancient Greek ἀπόκρυφος (hidden, obscure), from ἀπό (from) + κρύπτω (to hide). Properly plural (the singular would be apocryphon), but commonly treated as a collective singular. “Apocryphal” meaning “of doubtful authenticity” is first attested in English in 1590.
