來源：
Middle English
中古英語
from Anglo-Norman brocour, abrocour ; akin to possibly akin to Spanish alboroque [ceremonial gift at conclusion of business deal]
源自 英法語 brocour, abrocour ；類似于 可能類似于 西班牙語 alboroque [一筆交易做成時禮節(jié)性的禮物]

<注釋>Giving gifts to one`s broker might be justifiable from an etymological point of viewbecause the wordbroker may be connected through its Anglo-Norman source brocour, abrocour, with Spanish alboroque, meaning .ceremony or ceremonial gift after the conclusion of a business deal..If this connection does exist,.business deal. is the notion shared by the Spanish and Anglo-Norman wordsbecausebrocour referred to the middleman in transactions. The English wordbroker is first found in Middle English in 355, several centuries before we find instances of its familiar compoundspawnbroker, first recorded in '87, and stockbroker, first recorded in 70'.
從詞源的角度來說，送禮物給經(jīng)紀人是有一番道理的。因為broker 一詞也許通過英國法語的詞源 brocour，abrocour 與西班牙語 alboroque 形成親屬關(guān)系， 而后者意為.一筆交易做成時作為禮節(jié)性的禮品.。如果這一關(guān)系的確存在，那么西班牙語詞匯和英國法語詞匯中都有.交易.這一概念。因為brocour 指做交易的中間人。 英語單詞broker 第一次被發(fā)現(xiàn)使用，是在355年的中世紀英語中， 距我們發(fā)現(xiàn)它的為人熟知的復(fù)合詞pawnbroker （'87年第一次被記錄下來）和 stockbroker （70'第一次被記錄下來）已有好幾個世紀了
