中文詞源
siege 包圍，圍攻，封鎖
來自古法語 sege,座位，來自通俗拉丁語*sedicum,座位，來自 sedere,坐下，詞源同 set,sit,seat. 引申比喻義包圍，封鎖，字面意思即即軍隊在包圍的城墻四周安營扎寨。
英文詞源
- siege (n.)
- early 13c., "a seat" (as in Siege Perilous, early 13c., the vacant seat at Arthur's Round Table, according to prophecy to be occupied safely only by the knight destined to find the Holy Grail), from Old French sege "seat, throne," from Vulgar Latin *sedicum "seat," from Latin sedere "sit" (see sedentary). The military sense is attested from c. 1300; the notion is of an army "sitting down" before a fortress.
