晚期古英语, prisoun,"囚禁或非自愿限制的地方,地牢,监狱",源自古法语 prisoun "囚禁,监禁; 监狱; 囚犯,俘虏"(11世纪,现代法语 prison),经过改变(受 pris "被带走"的影响; 参见 prize(n.2))从更早的 preson 改编而来,源自通俗拉丁语 *presionem,源自拉丁语 prensionem(主格 prensio),缩写形式为 prehensionem(主格 *prehensio)"一次拿走",动作名词,来自过去分词词干 prehendere "拿取"(来自 prae- "之前",参见 pre-),加上 -hender e,源自 PIE 词根 *ghend- "抓住,拿取")。
早期使用时常指"囚禁,被囚禁或限制的状态"; 因此,引申为"囚犯的地方,用于囚禁罪犯和其他通过法律程序被扣押的人的公共建筑",是主要的现代意义。
