department的词源

英文词源

department: department: [15] English has borrowed department from French département on two completely separate occasions. Originally, in late Middle English, it was used for ‘departure’, but this died out in the mid-17th century. Then in the 18th century it was re-acquired in the different sense ‘distinct pision’; Dr Johnson, in his Dictionary 1755, dismisses it as a French term.
department (n.): mid-15c., "a going away, act of leaving," from Old French departement (12c.) "pision, sharing out; porce, parting," from Late Latin departire (see depart). French department meant "group of people" (as well as "departure"), from which English borrowed the sense of "separate pision, separate business assigned to someone in a larger organization" (c. 1735). Meaning "separate pision of a government" is from 1769. As an administrative district in France, from 1792.
