<注釋>The wordprison has its origins not in the notions of what such a place is but rather in the notion of how one gets there. Prison can be traced back to the Latin word prônsiô, .the action or power of making an arrest.. This in turn is derived from the verbprehendere or prendere, which meant .to take hold of, take into custody, arrest..Prônsiô then dives into the obscurity of the time when Romance languages such as French were being formed from Vulgar Latin and resurfaces in the Old French of the 2th century with the formprison and the senses .capture. and .place of imprisonment..This new sense could have already been developed in Latinand not been recorded,but we have to wait until the 2th century to see it,the sense .captivity. being added in the same century.From Old French as well as the Medieval Latin wordpriso, .prison,. derived from Old French, came our Middle English word prisoun, first recorded in a work written before 2in the sense .imprisonment..The sense .place of imprisonment. is recorded shortly afterward in a text copied down before 225but perhaps actually written in the Old English period before the Norman Conquest.
Prison 這個單詞的來源不在於它是一個什麼樣的地方而在於一個人是怎么進去的。 Prison 可追溯到意思是.進行逮捕的行動或力量.的拉丁詞 prensio。 這個詞也是從動詞prehendere 或 prendere 派生出來的， 意思是.捉住，逮捕，拘留。.Prensio 這個詞在羅馬語系中的語言（如法文）逐漸從通俗拉丁語形成時被人們忘卻了， 2世紀又以prison 的形式在古法文中重新露面， 其含義是.捉住.和.囚禁人的地方。.這個新的含義很可能在拉丁語中已得到了發展，只是沒有被記錄下來，但是我們直到2世紀才看到它，在同一世紀.囚禁，俘虜.的意思被加了進去。從古法文、同時也是從源於古法文的中世紀拉丁語詞priso .監獄，監禁.中產生了中古英文單詞 prison， 這個詞最早的記錄是在一部著於2年的作品中，意思是.監禁，拘留。..監禁或囚禁的地方.這層意思在稍後出現的、在225年以前被抄錄下來的一篇文章中出現，但可能實際寫作的時間是在諾曼征服之前的古英文時期
