| 词汇 | casino |
| 词源 | casino. Casino means “little house” in Italian, the diminutive of the Italian casa, “house,” which comes from the Latin casa meaning the same. The word was first used for a country house and then for a building or room in a building where one could dance or gamble. This last meaning, first recorded in 1851, gave us our words for a gambling establishment and the card game called casino. |
