英文词源
- prebend
- prebend: [15] A prebend is a salary paid to a clergyman from the revenue of his cathedral. The word comes via Old French prebende from late Latin praebenda ‘salary, pension’. This was a noun use of the gerundive of praebēre ‘give, grant, supply’, and hence meant literally ‘things to be given’. Praebēre was a compound verb formed from the prefix prae- ‘forth’ and habēre ‘have’. In Vulgar Latin, praebenda was altered to *prōbenda, from which English gets provender [14].
=> provender - prebend (n.)
- early 15c., from Old French prebende, earlier provende (12c.) and directly from Medieval Latin prebenda "allowance," from Late Latin praebenda "allowance, pension" (see provender). Related: Prebendary.
