Peace Engineering

摘要

In an article published by the American Society of Civil Engineering in their 1914 Transactions, Bert Young, a linguist, described the lineage of the word engineer as coming both from the Middle English engyneour, and from the Old French engignier or engig-neour. These, in turn, come from Middle Latin ingeniarius, defined as one who makes or uses an engine, especially a war engine. The root of the word engine is the Latin word ingenium—an invention, an engine.
