spa

• n. 鉱泉; 温泉; 療養鉱泉

鉱泉でヨーロッパでは有名なベルギーの町の名前、スパから。名前の由来は、ベルギーのワロン語espa（泉水、噴水）で、おそらくラテン語のspargere（振りかける、噴霧する）から来ていると思われ、語源的にはスプリングと同じで、後にスパリゾートの代名詞となった。

spa

spa: [17] The town of Spa, in eastern Belgium, has medicinal mineral springs. They were discovered in the 14th century, and by the early 17th century were well enough known in Britain for the town’s name to be used as a generic term for ‘medicinal springs’. The present-day application to a ‘town containing such springs’ emerged towards the end of the 18th century.
