arcana(英語單詞)

arcana是英語名詞，英式音標為[ɑː'keɪnə]，美式音標為[ɑːr'keɪnə]，指奧秘、神秘事物或深奧的知識，為arcanum的複數形式。該詞常見於特定短語搭配，如Unearthed Arcana、Mirage Arcana及塔羅牌體系中的Major Arcana（大阿卡納牌）與Minor Arcana（小阿卡納牌）。

作為複數名詞，arcana源自拉丁語arcanum（單數形式）及arca（箱子/保險箱），其詞根可追溯至拉丁形容詞arcanus（意為'隱藏的'）。在鍊金術文獻中，arcana常被用於描述秘術知識。

該詞通過塔羅牌體系進一步擴展套用場景：Major Arcana代表22張主牌，象徵高層次宇宙教誨；Minor Arcana則分為權杖、寶劍、聖杯、星幣四組，對應火、氣、水、土元素，處理日常生活中的次要問題。
