英语词汇discount的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

discount. The French practiced discounting as early as 1500, calling the practice déscompte because it first involved “selling by the count” rather than knocking down prices. For example, a buyer was charged for only nine items when buying 10, the 10th item set aside from the count and given to him free—a practice that would better be called the premium technique. By the time déscompte spread to England in the early 17th century, however, its name transformed to discounting, it meant the re- duction in price that discounting is today.
