註釋
Given the unpeaceful feelings one often has in paying bills or income taxes, it is difficult to believe that the word pay ultimately derives from the Latin word p3, 「peace.」 However, it is not the peace of the one who pays that is involved in this development of meaning. From p3, meaning 「peace」 and also 「a settlement of hostilities,」 was derived the word p33re,} 「to impose a settlement on peoples or territories.」 In Late Latin p33re} was extended in sense to mean 「to appease.」 The Old French word paiier that developed from Latin p33re} came to have the specific application 「to pacify or satisfy a creditor,」 a sense that came into Middle English along with the word paien (first recorded around the beginning of the 13th century), the ancestor of our word pay.
人常常在支付帳單或收入調節稅時有不安之感情，因而很難令人相信單詞pay 來源於拉丁詞語 pax 「和平」。 但是，並不是支付人內心的平和與這個詞意義的延伸意有關連。因為意思是「和平」和「敵視的和解」的單詞pax 源於 pacare 「給人民或領土以安寧」。 在後拉丁語中pacare 的意義被引申為「撫慰，使緩和。」 古法語單詞paiier 來源於拉丁語 pacave， 後來開始具有「緩和、平息或使債主滿意」這個具體用意，這種意思隨同單詞paien （大約在13世紀初首次記錄）進入中世紀英語， 這個詞就是單詞pay 的前身
