restaurant[restaurant 词源字典]

restaurant: [19] A restaurant is etymologically a place where one is ‘restored’ or refreshed. The word was borrowed from French restaurant, a noun use of the present participle of restaurer ‘restore’, whose Old French ancestor restorer gave English restore [13]. This went back to Latin restaurāre ‘restore, repair’, a compound verb based on an earlier instaurāre ‘restore, renew, repeat’ – a word of uncertain origin which may have been related to Greek stavrós ‘stake, pale’.
