receiptn. Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French receipte, recette; French receit, recet. Etymology: Partly < Anglo-Norman receipte, receite, receyte, resceite (feminine; also occasionally masculine), variants of recette, rescette, recet, rescet, recepte (compare Old French recete , recoite , Old French, Middle French, French recette , and (with medial -p- after Latin) Old French, Middle French recepte ) amount, sum, or quantity of something received (late 12th cent. in Anglo-Norman in plural receites , with reference to money), act of collecting (monies) (late 12th cent. in Anglo-Norman), total sum of monies received (14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman; 1283 in Old French as recoite ), statement of the ingredients and procedure necessary to make a medicinal preparation (15th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman; 13th cent. in Old French as recepte ), receipt of the Exchequer (a1312 or earlier in Anglo-Norman), right of admission into a court (early 14th cent. or earlier in legal use in Anglo-Norman), welcome (early 14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), receptacle (first half of the 14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), written acknowledgement of receiving something (first half of the 14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), action of receiving something, fact of being received (both late 14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), recipe for an item of food or drink (c1393 as recette ) < classical Latin recepta , use as noun of feminine past participle of recipere receive v., and partly < Anglo-Norman receit (masculine; also occasionally feminine), variant of recet, recept, reset, resset, etc. reset n.1 Compare post-classical Latin recepta public revenue office (frequently from 12th cent. in British sources), money received (frequently from 13th cent. in British sources; also as receptus ), medical prescription (from 13th cent. in British sources). Compare earlier reset n.1, and also recept n.1, reception n., recipe n.The Anglo-Norman forms of the noun with -ei- , -ey- are apparently influenced by verbal forms such as the 3rd person singular present indicative receit (compare Middle French, French reçoit ). The β. forms are influenced by Latin, and predominate in later use (in contrast to the situation at conceit n. and deceit n.), although the medial -p- is purely graphic. Compare (feminine) Old Occitan, Occitan recepta medical prescription, recipe, sum of money received, Catalan recepta medical prescription (14th cent.), Spanish receta (late 15th cent.; late 13th cent. as †reçepta ), Portuguese receita (second half of the 14th cent.; also as †reçepta ), Italian ricetta (c1350, earliest in sense ‘medical prescription’), and also (masculine) Old Occitan recepte place of retirement, recet shelter, refuge, Italian (now archaic or literary) ricetto shelter, refuge (a1353; also †recepto , †recetto , etc.); the Romance forms with -p- are influenced by Latin. In sense 10c after Italian ricetto (1529 in this sense, in the passage translated in quot. 1562). In Receipt of Exchequer at sense 11a after Anglo-Norman la receyte de l'Eschequer (early 14th cent. or earlier); compare post-classical Latin recepta Scaccarii (from 12th cent. in British sources). I. An amount received. 1. Something received; the amount, sum, or quantity of something received. a. With reference to money. Cf. taking n. 6a. Now usually in plural.
