compass词源

compass

compass: [13] The notion underlying compass is of ‘measuring out with paces’. It originated as a verb, Vulgar Latin *compassāre ‘pace out’, a compound formed from the Latin intensive prefix com- and passus (source of English pace). This passed into Old French as compasser ‘measure’, and thence into English. The derived Old French noun compas was early applied to a pivoted two-armed measuring and drawing instrument, presumably inspired equally by the ideas ‘stepping’ and ‘measuring’, and English acquired this sense in the 14th century.The use of the word for a magnetic direction indicator, which dates from the 16th century, may be due to the device’s circular container.=> pace

compass (n.)

c. 1300, \"space, area, extent, circumference,\" from Old French compas \"circle, radius, pair of compasses\" (12c.), from compasser \"to go around, measure, divide equally,\" from Vulgar Latin *compassare \"to pace out\" (source of Italian compassare, Spanish compasar), from Latin com- \"together\" (see com-) + passus \"a step\" (see pace (n.)).The mathematical instrument so called from mid-14c. The mariners\' directional tool (so called since early 15c.) took the name, perhaps, because it\'s round and has a point like the mathematical instrument. The word is in most European languages, with a mathematical sense in Romance, a nautical sense in Germanic, and both in English.

compass (v.)

c. 1300, \"to devise, plan;\" early 14c. as \"to surround, contain, envelop, enclose;\" from Anglo-French cumpasser, from compass (n.). Related: Compassed; compassing.
