英文詞源
- larceny
- larceny: [15] The Latin word for ‘robber’ was latrō. Its original meaning was ‘mercenary soldier’, and it came from Greek látron ‘pay’ (a relative of latreíā ‘service, worship’, which provided the suffix in such English words as idolatry and bardolatry). From latrō was derived latrōcinium ‘robbery’, which passed into English via Old French larcin and its Anglo- Norman derivative *larcenie.
=> idolatry - larceny (n.)
- late 15c., with -y (3) + Anglo-French larcin (late 13c.), from Old French larrecin, larcin "theft, robbery" (11c.), from Latin latrocinium "robbery, freebooting, highway-robbery, piracy," from latro "robber, bandit," also "hireling, mercenary," ultimately from a Greek source akin to latron "pay, hire, wages," from a suffixed form of PIE root *le- (1) "to get."
