单词 treasure-trove
释义

treasure-troven.

/ˌtrɛʒəˈtrəʊv//ˈtrɛʒəˌtrəʊv/
Etymology: Originally two words, in Anglo-Norman tresor trové = Latin thesaurus inventus, in 15th cent. rendered in English tresoure founden, founde, found; in 16th cent. with the French form anglicized treasure trovey, trove, trouve.
a. literal. treasure found (see b), i.e. anything of the nature of treasure which any one finds; spec. in English Law: Treasure (gold or silver, money, plate, or bullion) found hidden in the ground or other place, the owner of which is unknown. In original use a merely descriptive phrase, of general application. But from an early period a distinction arose; treasure which had been lost (and not claimed), or voluntarily abandoned (of which the amount was naturally small and inconsiderable) was allowed to be kept by the first finder; while that which had been (certainly or presumably) hidden, was claimed by the Crown. This practically included all ancient treasure, and to this the name treasure trove was specifically restricted. To encourage the giving up of such treasure, when found, and to prevent the destruction of valuable antiquities, the Crown may award things found or their value to the finder. (For full discussion, see W. Martin in Law Q. Rev. (1904) XX. 27.)
