Farm(英语)词源简单考据

背景

之前在玩外服的仙境传说中,第一次遇到Farm这个词,并非用于表达"农场"这个意思,当时完全没看懂对方说的什么,一直很在意

正好,刚刚查资料的时候看见文档里又出现了farm

本着语言学的研究精神,稍微考据了一下farm一词的词源,记录如下

正文

Middle English: from Old French ferme, from medieval Latin firma ‘fixed payment’, from Latin firmare ‘fix, settle’ (in medieval Latin ‘contract for’), from firmus ‘constant, firm’; compare with firm2. The noun originally denoted a fixed annual amount payable as rent or tax; this is reflected in farm (sense 3 of the verb), which later gave rise to ‘to subcontract’ (farm (sense 2 of the verb)). The noun came to denote a lease, and, in the early 16th century, land leased for farming. The verb sense ‘grow crops or keep livestock’ dates from the early 19th century.

懒得不翻译了

总结一下:在计算机领域,Farm一词表示的含义有:

1.同cluster,表示集群的意思,比如docker farm

2.同constant,表示恒定,常数的意思

3.同constract,表示抽象(层),虚拟(层),或者表示构建一个抽象层的意思

4.同analysis,表示(数据)分析

而当年玩游戏时,对方的想表达的意思应该是刷怪点

farm用作集群的含义
