注释

In these days of agribusiness, a farm and a firm are probably closer than they have been since the time before the words farm and firm developed from the same Latin word, firm3, “to strengthen, make fast, confirm, attest,” which is derived from Latin firmus, the source of firm, meaning “secure.” In Medieval Latin firm3e came to mean “to ratify by signature,” from which sense eventually came our word firm, first recorded in 1574 with the meaning “signature.” This word firm later added the senses “designation under which a firm transacts business” and “commercial house.” Latin firm3e by way of Old French also gave us Middle English ferme, the ancestor of our word farm.

大农场经营年代，农场和商行也许比在farm 和 firm 从同一拉丁语 firmare， 意为“加强，使牢固，使确定，使证明”发展来之前联系更为紧密， 它是从拉丁词firmus 派生而来， 即firm 一词的来源，意为“确定的”。 在中世纪拉丁语中，firmare 开始取意为“用签名来批准，”从此含义出发，最终有了我们的 firm 这个词， 1574年它首次被记录下来，意为“签名”。 Firm 这个词后来增加了两个含义，“商行借以办理事务的名称”和“经商的房屋。” 拉丁词firmare 也通过古法语给了我们中世纪英语 ferme 这个词， 它是我们的单词farm 的前身
