释义

bancon.1adj.1

Brit. /ˈbaŋkəʊ/, U.S. /ˈbæŋkoʊ/
Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymons: Italian banco, di banco.
Etymology: < Italian banco (in di banco (see note); < di of + banco bank n.3). Compare bank money n. at bank n.3 Compounds 3.The Italian use of di banco in this sense typically occurs as part of longer phrases, e.g. contado di banco, and (with reference to specific monetary units) ducato di banco (17th cent. or earlier; 1622 in an English context). Compare French de banco, designating a unit of money of account, banco, noun denoting such a unit (both 1679) and Dutch banco, used attributively or as combining form (1701 in bancodaalder banco thaler). Italian di banco is also reflected by the following earlier example of an English phrase of banco, which appears several times in the source cited, but does not seem to have become established (de banco is also used in English contexts in the same source):1638 L. Roberts Merchants Mappe of Commerce ccclxxxi. sig. Kkk6 A Merchant of Florence is creditor in Venice posito 2000 Duccats of banco.
