indenture 師徒契約
來自indent,咬合，-ure,名詞后綴。因古代師徒契約寫于兩張鋸齒狀凹痕的契約紙上而得名。
英文詞源
- indenture (n.)
- "contract for services," late 14c., from Anglo-French endenture, Old French endenteure "indentation," from endenter (see indent). Such contracts (especially between master craftsmen and apprentices) were written in full identical versions on a sheet of parchment, which was then cut apart in a zigzag, or "notched" line. Each party took one, and the genuineness of a document of indenture could be proved by juxtaposition with its counterpart. As a verb, 1650s, from the noun.
