英语词汇noblesse oblige的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	noblesse oblige
词源	noblesse oblige. Noblesse has been used as a synonym for nobility in English since it was borrowed from the French in the early 14th century. However, noblesse oblige, the French for “nobility obliges,” seems to be a recent coinage of the last 50 years or so. It generally means the obligation of the nobility, or the rich, to help others worse off than they.
