<注释>In these days of agribusiness,a farm and a firm are probably closer than they have been since the time before the wordsfarm and firm developed from the same Latin word, firm3re, .to strengthen, make fast, confirm, attest,. which is derived from Latinfirmus, the source offirm, meaning .secure.. In Medieval Latinfirm3re came to mean .to ratify by signature,. from which sense eventually came our word firm, first recorded in 574 with the meaning .signature..This wordfirm later added the senses .designation under which a firm transacts business. and .commercial house.. Latinfirm3re by way of Old French also gave us Middle English ferme, the ancestor of our wordfarm.
