英文词源


sale
sale: [11] Sale was borrowed from Old Norse sala. This came from the same prehistoric Germanic base, *sal-, that produced English sell. The word’s specific application to the ‘selling of goods at lower-than-normal prices’ did not emerge until the 1860s.
=> sell
sale (n.)
late Old English sala "a sale, act of selling," from a Scandinavian source such as Old Norse sala "sale," from Proto-Germanic *salo (cognates: Old High German sala, Swedish salu, Danish salg), from PIE root *sal- (3) "to grasp, take." Sense of "a selling of shop goods at lower prices than usual" first appeared 1866. Sales tax attested by 1886. Sales associate by 1946. Sales representative is from 1910.
