中文词源

province 省,地方,范围

来自拉丁语provincia,行省,特指古罗马统治下意大利之外的领土,来自pro-,向前,-vinc,胜利,占领,词源同victor,victory.

英语词源

province (n.)
early 14c., "country, territory, region," from Old French province "province, part of a country; administrative region for friars" (13c.) and directly from Latin provincia "territory outside Italy under Roman domination," also "a public office; public duty," of uncertain origin, usually explained as pro- "before" + vincere "to conquer" (see victor); but this does not suit the earliest Latin usages. Meaning "one's particular business or expertise" is from 1620s.
