约于1400年, prasaynt(15世纪中期为 precincte),“为政府或代表目的而定义的区域”,尤其是在城市或城镇中,源自于中世纪拉丁语 precinctum “围墙,边界线”,是拉丁语 praecingere 的过去分词中性名词用法,“环绕,包围”,由 prae “之前”(见 pre-)和 cingere “环绕,包围”(见 cinch(v.))组成。 “围绕一个地方的外部线或边界”这一含义始于1540年代。
Middle English, from Medieval Latin praecinctum, from Latin, neuter of praecinctus, past participle of praecingere to gird, encircle, from prae- pre- + cingere to gird — more at cincture
The first known use of precinct was in the 15th century
