中文詞源
province 省，地方，范圍
來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ)provincia,行省，特指古羅馬統(tǒng)治下意大利之外的領(lǐng)土，來(lái)自pro-,向前，-vinc,勝利，占領(lǐng)，詞源同victor,victory.
英文詞源
- 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.
