pecuniary

• adj.金銭的；罰金刑

ラテン語のpecunia, money, propertyから、pecus, livestock, cattle, sheepから、PIE*peku, cattle, sheep, livestock, livestockから、PIE*pek, pluck, pull wool, comb, sortから、語源はfair, fightと同じ。その語彙的意味は、羊の語彙的意味から羊毛をむしり取る動作に由来し、後に家畜、牛の語彙的意味に派生し、古代社会では、牛や羊などの家畜は、その家畜であった。古代社会では、牛や羊などの家畜は家族の富を測る手段であったため、chattel、property、moneyなどの語源となった。furrow、farrow、porkの意味の変遷の比較。

pecuniary (adj.)

c. 1500, from Latin pecuniarius "pertaining to money," from pecunia "money, property, wealth," from pecu "cattle, flock," from PIE root *peku- "wealth, movable property, livestock" (source of Sanskrit pasu- "cattle," Gothic faihu "money, fortune," Old English feoh "cattle, money").

Livestock was the measure of wealth in the ancient world, and Rome, like any other culture, was essentially a farmer's community. That pecunia was literally "wealth in cattle" was still apparent to Cicero. For a possible parallel sense development in Old English, see fee, and compare, evolving in the other direction, cattle. Compare also Welsh tlws "jewel," cognate with Irish tlus "cattle," connected via notion of "valuable thing," and, perhaps emolument.
