受監護人
核心畫面
One way to hold it: a group of people placed under someone's watch. The old sense of the word is guarding and looking after — so a ward is a set of people (or one person) marked off and put in somebody's care: the patients in one hospital room, the households in one part of a town, a child under a guardian's protection.

可以想成一群被劃出來、交給某個人看顧的人。這個字老早以前的意思就是「守護、看管」，所以 ward 指的是被圈起來、放在某人照看之下的一塊：同一間病房裡的病人、一個城市裡的一小區居民、或一個由監護人照顧的孩子。三個意思看起來很跳，但都站在「有人在看顧」這個畫面上。From the word’s history
Ward is from Old English weard, from Proto-Germanic *wardaz "guard" (PIE root *wer- "perceive, watch out for"), with the early sense "keeping, care, safekeeping". The senses branch from that: "minor under a guardian" (early 15c.), "administrative district of a town" (late 14c., a division of people under a particular leader), and "division of a hospital" (1749).
ward 來自古英語 weard，源自原始日耳曼語 *wardaz「守衛」，最早的意思是「看守、照管、保管」。後來的幾個意思都從這裡分出去：十五世紀初指「由監護人照管的未成年人」，十四世紀晚期指「城鎮的行政區」（原意是由某位首長看管的一群人），到 1749 年才出現「醫院的病房區」這個用法。
