约于公元1400年,“边界,边境,边界线,限制”(通常用复数)出自古法语单词 confins “边界”,来自中世纪拉丁语单词 confines “边界”,源自拉丁语单词 confinium(复数形式为 confinia)“边界,限制”,源自 confine 的中性形式,该形式是 confinis “接壤的,具有相同边界”的同化形式,该形式源自 com “与,共同”(见 con-),加上 finis “结束”(见动词 finish)。至于指“领土靠近边界的部分”(如德莱顿的“夜与日的边界之间”)则始见于公元1600年左右。
Noun Middle English confynyes, borrowed from Latin confīnia, plural of confīnium "common boundary, limit, border," from confīnis "having a common boundary" (from con- con- + -fīnis, adjective derivative of fīnis "boundary, limit, ending") + -ium, suffix of compounded nouns — more at final >entry 1 Verb borrowed from Middle French confiner "to be adjacent, restrain within limits," probably borrowed from Italian confinare, derivative of confine "boundary line, limit," noun derivative from neuter of Latin confīnis "having a common boundary" — more at confine >entry 1
The first known use of confine was in the 15th century
