在十八世纪的英语中，“关键字”是允许解决代码或密码的术语——它们实际上解开了一个难题。根据《牛津英语词典》，到十九世纪中叶，它们获得了更普遍的用途，指定一个术语或概念来解释或总结一组更大的思想——“具有特别重要或意义的单词、表达或概念”。 1976年，雷蒙德·威廉姆斯发表了他的基础研究《关键词：文化与社会词汇》，该术语被重新指定为“重要的、指示性的词汇”，是“社会和文化讨论的关键领域的词汇”的核心（Williams 1985: 15, 24）。正如威廉姆斯所提出的，学者的任务是阐明或消除这些术语的各种（通常是相互冲突的）含义和关联，以便使讨论以更清晰、更富有成效的形式进行。此后，人文和社会科学领域出现了大量文献——
‘Keywords’ were, in eighteenth-century English, terms that allowed the solution of a code or cypher–they literally unlocked a conundrum. By the mid-nineteenth century, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, they had acquired a more general use, designating a term or concept that explained or summarised a larger set of ideas–‘a word, expression, or concept of particular importance or significance’. In 1976, when Raymond Williams published his foundational study Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society, the term was redesignated to mean ‘significant, indicative words’ that are central to ‘the vocabulary of a crucial area of social and cultural discussion’(Williams 1985: 15, 24). The task of the scholar, as Williams presented it, was to unravel or disambiguate the various, often conflicting, meanings and associations of those terms in order for that discussion to take place in a clearer, more productive form. An extensive literature has since emerged in the humanities and social sciences–the
