larceny 偷盗，偷盗

来自古法语larcin,偷盗，抢劫，来自拉丁语latro,付钱，雇佣的打手，抢劫，词源同idolatry.

larceny: larceny: [15] The Latin word for ‘robber’ was latrō. Its original meaning was ‘mercenary soldier’, and it came from Greek látron ‘pay’ (a relative of latreíā ‘service, worship’, which provided the suffix in such English words as idolatry and bardolatry). From latrō was derived latrōcinium ‘robbery’, which passed into English via Old French larcin and its Anglo- Norman derivative *larcenie.
=> idolatry
larceny (n.): late 15c., with -y (3) + Anglo-French larcin (late 13c.), from Old French larrecin, larcin "theft, robbery" (11c.), from Latin latrocinium "robbery, freebooting, highway-robbery, piracy," from latro "robber, bandit," also "hireling, mercenary," ultimately from a Greek source akin to latron "pay, hire, wages," from a suffixed form of PIE root *le- (1) "to get."
