英语词汇royalties的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

royalties. Royalties, in the sense of an agreed portion of the income of a work paid to an author, or a portion of the pro- ceeds paid to the owner of a right (mineral, oil, etc.), is of course connected with the granting of royal rights. Royalty in this financial sense seems to have first been used to describe a duty of one shilling a ton on all coal exported from the Tyne for use in England, which England’s Charles II granted in 1676 to his illegitimate son the duke of Richmond as part of a perpetual pension. In the sense of a payment to authors, royalty is first re- corded in 1880 in Scribner’s Magazine. But book royalties are of such tenuous value today that one author has suggested a name change to peasantries.
