department的词源解释,department来源

department(n.)

大约1500年,“停止,结束; 离去,离别的行为”(在这个意义上已过时),来自古法语“ departement ”“分割,分享; 离婚,分手”(12世纪),来自晚期拉丁语“ departire ”“划分”(及物),来自“ de- ”的“从”(见于 de-)和“ partire ”“分离,分开”,来源于“ pars ”(属格 partis )“一部分,一块,一个份额,一个划分”(来自 PIE 词根“ *pere- (2) ”,“授予,分配”)。

法语“ department ” 还指“一群人”(以及“离开”),由此,到1735年,英语也借用了“复杂整体的独立分支,分配给较大组织中某人的独立业务,独立部门或活动组”,(科学,商业,制造业,军事)。特指“政府的分隔部分”始于1769年。作为法国行政区,起源于1792年。

Department store ”意为“按部门组织销售各种物品的商店”,始于1878年。

The "Department Store" is the outgrowth of the cheap counter business originated by Butler Brothers in Boston about ten years ago. The little "Five Cent Counter" then became a cornerstone from which the largest of all the world's branches of merchandising was to be reared. It was the "Cheap Counter" which proved to the progressive merchant his ability to sell all lines of wares under one roof. It was the Five Cent Counter "epidemic" of '77 and '78 which rushed like a mighty whirlwind from the Atlantic to the Pacific and all along its path transformed old time one line storekeepers into the wide-awake merchant princes of the present day. It was this same epidemic which made possible the world famed Department Stores of Houghton, of Boston; Macy, of New York; Wanamaker, of Philadelphia; and Lehman, of Chicago. [American Storekeeper, 1885] 
“百货商店”是在波士顿的 Butler Brothers 公司启动的便宜的柜台业务的基础上发展而来的。这个小的“五分钱柜台”成为了最大的世界范围内的商品销售分支的基础。这就是“便宜的柜台”向富有进取心的商人证明他在一块硬顶下销售各种商品的能力。正是“77年和78年的五分钱柜台‘流行病’”从大西洋到太平洋的强大旋风,沿着它的道路转变了老式单一店主为如今的机智的商业王子。正是这种流行病才使得世界著名的百货公司成为可能,如波士顿的豪登 Houghton,纽约的梅西 Macy,费城的万纳马克 Wanamaker 和芝加哥的 Lehman。 【美国商店店主,1885】
