• vt. 支出；支付

來自古法語defrayer, 成本，支付，來自 de-, 向下，支出。frai-, 破碎，花費，詞源同break, 原義為破壞和平的罰金。后詞義通用化。

defray (v.)

1540s, from Middle French defraier (15c.), perhaps from de- "out" (see de-) + fraier "spend," from Old French frais "costs, damages caused by breakage," from Latin fractum, neuter past participle of frangere "to break" (see fraction). Alternative etymology traces second element to Old High German fridu "peace," via Vulgar Latin *fredum "fine, cost."
