dime词源中文解释
1786年，美国10美分硬币（最初是银制）被选为名称，源自于 dime “十分之一，什一税”（14世纪晚期），来自于古法语 disme（现代法语 dîme）“十分之一”和直接源自于中世纪拉丁语 decima，来自于拉丁语 decima (pars) “十分之一”，源自于 decem “十”（源自于 PIE 词根 *dekm- “十”）。
动词“告发”（某人）的意思来自于20世纪60年代，来自于当时电话亭通话的费用。头韵短语 a dime a dozen “几乎毫无价值”记录于1930年（作为实际价格，用于鸡蛋等，最早于1861年）。短语 stop on a dime 于1927年被证明（一角硬币是美国货币中最小的单位）； turn on a dime 则于1913年出现。 Dime store “零售店出售几乎所有物品，价格（或多或少）为10美分”于1928年出现。
