中文詞源
peer 等同，同輩，貴族，仔細(xì)看來自拉丁語par,對等，等同，詞源同pair.引申詞義同輩。詞義貴族來自小說家模仿英國Arthur王傳說中的圓桌騎士改編的八世紀(jì)法國君主Charlemagne大帝的十二騎士（Twelve Peers）的傳奇故事。
peer 仔細(xì)看，端詳可能縮寫自appear.比較peal.
英文詞源
- peer
- peer: see pair, pore
- peer (n.)
- c. 1300, "an equal in rank or status" (early 13c. in Anglo-Latin), from Anglo-French peir, Old French per (10c.), from Latin par "equal" (see par (n.)). Sense of "a noble" (late 14c.) is from Charlemagne's Twelve Peers in the old romances, who, like the Arthurian knights of the Round Table, originally were so called because all were equal. Sociological sense of "one of the same age group or social set" is from 1944. Peer review attested by 1970. Peer pressure is first recorded 1971.
- peer (v.)
- "to look closely," 1590s, variant of piren (late 14c.), with a long -i-, probably related to or from East Frisian piren "to look," of uncertain origin. Influenced in form and sense by Middle English peren (late 14c.), shortened form of aperen (see appear). Related: Peered; peering.
