英语词汇charterhouse的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Charterhouse. Charterhouse, the venerable London public school and hospital, was, in the 14th century, the site of a reli- gious house of the Carthusian monks. When one Thomas Sut- ton died in 1611, he endowed a hospital, chapel, and school on this property, which had come into his possession that same year. All three institutions were called Charterhouse as was the Carthusian monastery before them, the word deriving from the early English spelling (Chartrouse) of the French maison Chartreuse, “Carthusian house.” The school moved to Surrey in 1872, but the hospital, or almshouse, still stands on its old site. Many of the Charterhouse buildings were destroyed in World War II. See chartreuse liqueur.
