prebend[prebend 词源字典]

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].
