中文詞源
stipulate 規(guī)定，明確要求來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ) stipulari,交易，訂約，達(dá)成條款，可能來(lái)自 stipula,草梗，葉柄，莖，來(lái)自 PIE*steip, 刺，詞源同 stipule,stipple.其詞義演變來(lái)自古羅馬時(shí)期談判雙方達(dá)成協(xié)議后，會(huì)折斷一根草 作為象征。這種行為可能類似武俠小說(shuō)中把箭折斷，然后立下重誓言語(yǔ)“如違此誓，有如此 箭（劍）”，參照《天龍八部》相關(guān)章節(jié)。
英文詞源
- stipulate
- stipulate: [17] Tradition has it that the etymological notion underlying stipulate is an ancient custom of breaking a straw to seal a bargain. The word comes from the Latin verb stipulārī ‘bargain, demand’, and it has been speculated that this was derived from Latin stipula ‘straw’ (source also of English stubble [13]). The theory has not been conclusively demonstrated, but it makes a good story. Another possibility is some connection with Old Latin stipulus ‘firm’.
