| 词汇 | bar |
| 词源 | bar; before the bar. Shakespeare used the word bar for a tav- ern, this bar first recorded in 1572 and taking its name from the bars that were pulled over the serving counter in taverns at closing time. Similar bars or gratings were used in early courts of law, leading to the expression about lawyers practicing before the bar. |
