喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Old French propreté, from Latin proprietās 'peculiarity, ownership', from proprius 'one's own'.

源自拉丁文 proprietās（所有權），來自 proprius「自己的」。

Wiktionary

You can picture property as everything that 'belongs to' someone — the things that are theirs, under their name, in their hands.

可以想成「屬於某人的東西」這個畫面：在他名下、歸他所有、握在他手裡的一切。這個字的根就是「歸屬」——某樣東西是誰的。從這個歸屬感往外走，先指一個人擁有的所有財物，再縮小到最具體的一種財產（房子、土地），最後跳到另一層：一個物質「天生帶有」、屬於它本身的性質。
