tenement 廉租公寓

来自拉丁语 tenementum,领地，房子，所有物，来自 ten-,持有，握住，-ment,名词后缀。后用于指廉租公寓，可能是来自幽默用法。参照英语名言“风能进，雨能进，国王不能进”。

tenement: tenement: see tenant
tenement (n.): c. 1300, "holding of immovable property" (such as land or buildings,) from Anglo-French (late 13c.), Old French tenement "fief, land, possessions, property" (12c.), from Medieval Latin tenementum "a holding, fief" (11c.), from Latin tenere "to hold" (see tenet). The meaning "dwelling place, residence" is attested from early 15c.; tenement house "house broken up into apartments, usually in a poor section of a city" is first recorded 1858, American English, from tenament in an earlier sense (especially in Scotland) "large house constructed to be let to a number of tenants" (1690s).
