单词 press money
释义

press moneyn.

Brit. /ˈprɛs ˌmʌni/, U.S. /ˈprɛs ˌməni/
Forms:

β. 1500s presse monye, 1500s–1600s presse money, 1500s–1600s presse mony, 1600s– press money.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: prest n., money n.
Etymology: < prest n. + money n. In β forms probably partly influenced by press n.3, press v.2The change to press money may have been at first a phonetic simplification, the t being lost between two consonants, especially after s , as in Old English blōstma , blōsma blossom n., Christmas n.1 /ˈkrɪsməs/, etc.; this would encourage association with press v.2 (compare also the note at that entry).
Now historical.
1. Money paid in advance as wages or against expenses to be incurred. Cf. prest n. 1. Now rare.
