precinct词源

precinct

precinct: [15] The notion underlying precinct is of ‘encirclement’ or ‘enclosure’. It comes from the past participle of Latin praecingere ‘gird about, surround’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix prae- ‘before, around’ and cingere ‘encircle with a belt’ (source of English cincture [16]). From the underlying notion come the twin modern meanings of an ‘area enclosed by walls’ and a ‘delimited district within a city’ (mainly used in American English).=> cincture

precinct (n.)

c. 1400, prasaynt (mid-15c. as precincte), \"district defined for purposes of government or representation,\" from Medieval Latin precinctum \"enclosure, boundary line,\" noun use of neuter past participle of Latin praecingere \"to gird about, surround,\" from prae- \"before\" (see pre-) + cingere \"to surround, encircle\" (see cinch (v.)).
