14世纪中叶,“帝王统治的领土”; 一般指“领域,领土”; 14世纪末指“帝王的权威,统治的至高无上的权力”,在中古英语中通常指罗马帝国。
源自古法语 empire “统治,权威,王国,帝国统治”(11世纪),源自拉丁语 imperium “规则,命令; 权威,控制,权力; 至高无上的权力,唯一的统治; 军事权力; 领土,领域”,源自 imperare “命令”,源自 in- 的同化形式“在”(源自 PIE 根 *en “在”)+ parare “命令,准备”(源自 PIE 根 *pere- (1)“生产,获得”)。
在词源上并不仅限于“由皇帝统治的领土”,但通常以此方式使用。The Empire,意为“大英帝国”,首次记录于1772年(在1931年正式演变为“英联邦”); 在此之前,它指的是神圣罗马帝国(1670年代)。
