单词 chart
释义

chartn.

Brit. /tʃɑːt/, U.S. /tʃɑrt/
Forms: Also 1500s–1600s charte, ( charde).
Etymology: < Old French charte card, map, etc. < Latin carta , charta ‘paper, leaf of paper’, later also ‘card, chart, map’, etc. Charte was the native French representation of Latin carta ; but already in 14th cent. the Italian equivalent carta was introduced for a ‘playing-card’, in the adapted form carte , which was gradually extended by the 17th cent. to all senses of the native charte , and at length superseded it. Carte gave the English carte n.1 and carde , card n.2, both used in 15–17th cent. in the sense of ‘chart, map’; but late in the 16th cent. charte was introduced in this sense, for which it became the accepted term. Branches II, III, represent modern French carte and Latin charta.
