英语词汇ppc的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	ppc
词源	P.P.C. Hardly anyone leaves calling cards anymore and fewer still leave calling cards with the initials P.P.C. on them. The practice was fairly common once, however, and should you re- ceive one from the two or three people in the world who keep up the practice you’ll be glad to know that the letters don’t stand for “paying private call.” They stand for the French pour prendre congé, “for taking leave,” which means that the party called to say goodbye and found no one home.
