单词 gabelle
释义

gabellen.

Brit. /ɡaˈbɛl/, /ɡəˈbɛl/, U.S. /ɡəˈbɛl/
Forms: late Middle English–1600s gabell, late Middle English–1700s gabel, late Middle English– gabelle, 1500s 1700s–1800s gable.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French gabelle.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French gabelle, Middle French gabele (French (now hist.) gabelle ) tax levied on agricultural produce and other foodstuffs (late 13th cent. in Old French), salt tax (1342), probably < Italian gabella tax (although this is apparently first attested later: first half of the 14th cent.; however, compare the early post-classical Latin attestation below) < post-classical Latin gabella tax (12th cent. in a Sicilian source; from 14th cent. in British sources), salt tax (13th cent.) < Arabic qabāla tax, duty (see alcabala n.). Compare earlier gavel n.1 (see note below).Compare Old Occitan gabela (12th cent.), Catalan gabella (late 13th cent.), Spanish gabela (a1516; < Italian), Portuguese gabela (1558; < French). Compare also Spanish alcabala alcabala n., which reflects a borrowing of the same Arabic noun with prefixed definite article al- ‘the’. Although etymologically distinct, the earlier gavel n.1 shows both formal and semantic overlap with the present word: both nouns denote payments made to an authority or a superior (tax, tribute, or rent), and gavel n.1 has Old English and Middle English forms with medial -b- (in Middle English probably due to influence from post-classical Latin gabulum).
A tax, esp. one levied on agricultural products and other commodities; spec. the tax on salt imposed in France, which was repealed after the Revolution of 1789. Now historical.figurative in quot. 1649.
