中文詞源
escheat 無主財產(chǎn)接收官員
來自拉丁語excadere，來自ex-, 向外，-cad, 掉落。官職名，其主要職責(zé)是為國家統(tǒng)計并接收領(lǐng)土或轄地內(nèi)的無主或無繼承人的財產(chǎn)，因這一職務(wù)油水豐厚，所以擔(dān)任這一官職者通常背負(fù)著欺騙的壞名聲。常見詞cheat即來自該詞拼寫變體。
英文詞源
- escheat (n.)
- the reverting of land to a king or lord in certain cases, early 14c., from Anglo-French eschete (late 13c.), Old French eschete "succession, inheritance," literally "that which falls to one," noun use of fem. past participle of escheoir "happen, befall, occur, take place; fall due; lapse (legally)," from Late Latin *excadere "to fall out," from Latin ex- "out, away" (see ex-) + cadere "to fall" (see case (n.1)). As a verb, from late 14c. Related: Escheated; escheating. Late Latin *excadere represents a restored form of excidere, which yielded excise.
