词源
Middle English: from Old French parc, from medieval Latin parricus, of Germanic origin; related to German Pferch 'pen, fold', also to PADDOCK. The word was originally a legal term designating land held by royal grant for keeping game animals: this was enclosed and therefore distinct from a forest or chase, and （also unlike a forest） had no special laws or officers. A military sense 'space occupied by artillery, wagons, stores, etc. in an encampment' （late 17th cent.） is the origin of the verb sense （mid 19th cent.） and of sense 2 （early 20th cent.）.
