14世纪末, opportunitie,指“合适的、方便的或适时的时刻”,源自古法语 opportunite(13世纪)并直接源自拉丁语 opportunitatem(主格为 opportunitas),“适合,方便,合适,有利的时间”,源自 opportunus “合适的,方便的,适宜的,有利的”,源自短语 ob portum veniens “朝港口驶来”,指风向,源自 ob “在前面; 向前”(参见 ob-)+ portus “港口”(参见 port(名词1))。
Opportunity cost 可追溯到1911年。表达式 opportunity knocks but once(在任何人的门口)可追溯到1898年。
Middle English oportunyte, borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French oportunité, borrowed from Latin opportūnitāt-, opportūnitās, from opportūnus "convenient, opportune" + -itāt-, -itās -ity
The first known use of opportunity was in the 14th century
