escheat 無主財產接收官員
來自拉丁語excadere，來自ex-, 向外，-cad, 掉落。官職名，其主要職責是為國家統計并接收領土或轄地內的無主或無繼承人的財產，因這一職務油水豐厚，所以擔任這一官職者通常背負著欺騙的壞名聲。常見詞cheat即來自該詞拼寫變體。
英文詞源
- escheat (n.)
- the reverting of land to a king or lord in certain cases, early 14c., from Anglo-French eschete (late 13c.), Old French eschete "succession, inheritance," literally "that which falls to one," noun use of fem. past participle of escheoir "happen, befall, occur, take place; fall due; lapse (legally)," from Late Latin *excadere "to fall out," from Latin ex- "out, away" (see ex-) + cadere "to fall" (see case (n.1)). As a verb, from late 14c. Related: Escheated; escheating. Late Latin *excadere represents a restored form of excidere, which yielded excise.
