约1200年,“与另一个事实相关并修改它而不影响其本质”的意思(最初是指罪恶),来自古法语 circonstance “情况,处境”,也字面上意为“郊区”(13世纪,现代法语 circonstance),源自拉丁语 circumstantia “周围条件”,中性复数形式 circumstantis 的现在分词 circumstans 的属格,来自 circumstare “环绕,包围,占据,拥有”,由 circum “周围”(参见 circum-)和 stare “站立”组成,源自 PIE 词根 *sta- “站立,使或保持坚定”。拉丁词是希腊语 peristasis 的借译。
“一个人的环境,环境”的意思始于14世纪中期。 “一个特定的细节,小事项”是从约1300年开始的; “非本质的东西”是从1590年代开始的。关于重要事件的“形式主义,隆重的陪伴”(14世纪晚期)的过时意义仍然存在于莎士比亚的短语 pomp and circumstance(“奥赛罗”III,iii)中,被爱德华·埃尔加(Edward Elgar)用作他的军事进行曲(1901)的标题,这是美国毕业典礼的主打曲目。
