英文词源
- parliament
- parliament: [13] The French verb parler ‘talk’ has made a small but significant contribution to English. Amongst its legacies are parlance [16], parley [16], parlour [13] (etymologically a ‘room set aside for conversation’), and parliament itself. This came from the Old French derivative parlement, which originally meant ‘talk, consultation, conference’, but soon passed to ‘formal consultative body’, and hence to ‘legislative body’. French parler was a descendant of medieval Latin parabolāre ‘talk’, which was derived from the Latin noun parabola (source of English parable, parabola, and parole).
=> ballistic, parable, parlour - parliament (n.)
- c. 1300, "consultation; formal conference, assembly," from Old French parlement (11c.), originally "a speaking, talk," from parler "to speak" (see parley (n.)); spelling altered c. 1400 to conform with Medieval Latin parliamentum.
Anglo-Latin parliamentum is attested from early 13c. Specific sense "representative assembly of England or Ireland" emerged by mid-14c. from general meaning "a conference of the secular and/or ecclesiastical aristocracy summoned by a monarch."
中文词源
parliament（议会）：英王召集贵族和教士讨论朝政的会议
在中世纪的英国，当国王觉得有必要召集一些贵族、教士来讨论朝政时，就会专门召集一次会议，这种会议就叫做parliament。这个单词来自法语parlement，是动词parler（说话、发言）的名词形式。parliament的字面意思就是“开会、讨论”，后来才演变成了一种常设机构和国家政治制度。最初在英语中保持了parlement这种法语拼写形式，后来受了拉丁语parliamentum的影响，才演变为现在的拼写形式parliament。源自法语单词parler的英语单词还有parlour（会客室）、parley（会谈）等。
