property[property 词源字典]

property: [13] Property and propriety [15] are doublets – that is to say, they have the same ancestor, but have diverged over the centuries. In this case the ancestor was Latin prōprietās ‘ownership’, a derivative of prōprius (from which English gets proper). It passed into Old French as propriete, which originally reached English via Anglo-Norman proprete as property, and was subsequently reborrowed direct from Old French as propriety (this to begin with denoted ‘property’, and did not begin to develop its present-day meaning until the 17th century). Proprietary [15] came from the late Latin derivative prōprietārius; and proprietor [17] was formed from proprietary by substituting the suffix -or for -ary.
