Did You Know?

Disbursement was minted in English in the late 16th century by melding the noun suffix -ment with the verb disburse. Disburse is a borrowing of the Middle French desbourser, which traces back to the Old French desborser, a combination of the negating prefix des- (equivalent to the English dis-) and borse, which, like its English cognate purse, ultimately traces back to the Medieval Latin bursa, meaning “money bag” and, in earlier Latin usage, “oxhide.” During the 16th and 17th centuries, deburse, depurse, and dispurse were deposited in the English language bank as synonyms of disburse. Deburse and depurse were also used respectively to form debursement and depursement — but these synonyms of disburse and disbursement all quickly declined in value and were never redeemed.

词源词根演化：bursa (“money bag”) —> borse —> desborser —> desbourser —> disburse (v.) / disbursement (n.)

英语世界在16世纪晚期铸造了单词 Disbursement 支出 ，是通过熔合名词后缀 -ment 与动词 disburse 而成。disburse 是从中世纪法语 desbourser 转借来的，最终可以追溯到古法语 desborser。这个古法语单词是由否定前缀 des- （等同于英语前缀 dis-）和 borse 组合而成。borse 这个法语词，正如它的英语同源词 purse，最终都可以追溯到中世纪拉丁语 bursa，意思是“money bag 钱包”，早期拉丁用法则指代 “oxhide 牛皮，牛革”。到了16世纪与17世纪，英语中有了deburse，depurse以及dispurse，它们都是disburse的同义词。deburse与depurse各自形成了自己的名词形式 debursement和depursement — 但是这些 disburse 与disbursement的同义词很快就没落了，很少再被使用。

注：mint：n. 薄荷，造币厂 vt. 铸造（硬币）；cognate：(from co- ‘together with’ + natus ‘born’) 同源词；
