Middle English paien
中古英语 paien
from Old French paiier
源自 古法语 paiier
from Late Latin [to appease]
源自 后期拉丁语 [缓和，使平静]
from Latin p³³re} [to pacify]
源自 拉丁语 p³³re} [安抚，平息]
from p³x p³c- [peace] * see pag-
源自 p³x p³c- [和平] *参见 pag-

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.
人常常在支付帐单或收入调节税时有不安之感情，因而很难令人相信单词pay 来源于拉丁词语 pax “和平”。 但是，并不是支付人内心的平和与这个词意义的延伸意有关连。因为意思是“和平”和“敌视的和解”的单词pax 源于 pacare “给人民或领土以安宁”。 在后拉丁语中pacare 的意义被引申为“抚慰，使缓和。” 古法语单词paiier 来源于拉丁语 pacave， 后来开始具有“缓和、平息或使债主满意”这个具体用意，这种意思随同单词paien （大约在13世纪初首次记录）进入中世纪英语， 这个词就是单词pay 的前身
