constable警官

【使用地区】：英国

【释义】：

Constable，for“a police officer，”comes from the late Latin comes stabuli—any count，or officer，of the stable，or“master of the horse，”under the Theodosian Code in about A．D．438．In England，the word first meant the chief officer of the court or of the nation’s military forces．The title is usually reserved for police officers up to the rank of sergeant．See bobby．

此词意义如上所示。该词源于后期拉丁语comcs stabuli。据公元约438年的西奥多西娅法典，该拉丁语意为“马厩看守，厩官”或“掌马官”。在英格兰，该词起先指首席法官或国家军队的首领。作“警察”解，一般指巡佐以上的警官。参见bobby。
