“劳动,辛苦”,公元13世纪中叶,源自古法语 travail “工作,劳动,辛苦,痛苦的努力,麻烦; 艰苦的旅程”(12世纪),来自 travailler “劳动,辛苦”,最初的意思是“麻烦,折磨,折磨”,源自于通俗拉丁语 *tripaliare “折磨”,来自于拉丁语 *tripalium(在晚期拉丁语中为 trepalium)“酷刑工具”,可能来自于拉丁语 tripalis “有三根桩”(来自于 tria “三”; 参见 three + palus “桩”(来自于 PIE *pakslo-,是词根 *pag- “固定”的带后缀形式),听起来很不祥,但确切的概念是模糊的。动词记录于公元13世纪后期的英语中,源自于古法语中的动词。
