核心畫面

Picture one flat rectangular piece set into something bigger: a square of wood in a door, a sheet of metal on a car, a piece of cloth sewn into a skirt. That flat separate piece is the base picture — and, through an old legal use of a piece of parchment, the same word came to name a group of people.

可以想成：一片平平的、四方的東西，鑲在一個更大的物件裡——門上的一塊木板、車身上的一片鐵皮、裙子上車進去的一塊布。這…更多收起可以想成：一片平平的、四方的東西，鑲在一個更大的物件裡——門上的一塊木板、車身上的一片鐵皮、裙子上車進去的一塊布。這片獨立的平面就是基本畫面。至於「一組人」的意思，是從古代把名單寫在一片羊皮上的法律用法轉過來的。

From the word’s history

Panel is from Old French panel 'piece of cloth', from Vulgar Latin pannellus, a diminutive of Latin pannus 'piece of cloth'. In Anglo-French legal use it meant 'the piece of parchment listing the names of those summoned to serve on a jury', which by the late 14th century came to mean the jury itself; the wider sense 'persons called on to advise, judge or discuss' is recorded from about the 1570s.

panel 來自古法語 panel（一塊布），源頭是拉丁文 pannus（布）的小稱 pannellus。在英國的法律用語裡，它指「寫著陪審員名單的那張羊皮」，到十四世紀末就轉指陪審團本身；再擴大到「被找來提供意見、評判或討論的一群人」大約在1570年代。所以板子和評審團不是兩個不相干的字，中間隔的是一張寫著名字的皮。

被找來評判或討論的一群人

這一支的來源是那張寫著陪審員名字的羊皮：名單先被叫做 panel，後來這個字就直接指名單上的那群人。所以現在的評審團、來賓席、陪審團都用同一個字，中間的橋是一張紙，不是一塊板子。
