coroner
英 ['k?r(?)n?]
美 ['k?r?n?]

- n. (Coroner)人名；(法)科羅內(nèi)
助記提示
1、coron- + -er.
2、最初該詞表示保護皇家財產(chǎn)的官職，但是后來其職能逐漸變窄，直到最后只做驗尸的職能，因此，該詞也就演變成了如今的含義。
中文詞源
coroner 驗尸官來自crown, 王冠。原指王室管家，后功能和職責發(fā)生了變化。
英文詞源
- coroner (n.)
- late 12c., from Anglo-French curuner, from Latin custos placitorum coronae, originally the title of the officer with the duty of protecting the property of the royal family, from Latin corona, literally "crown" (see crown (n.)). The duties of the office gradually narrowed and by 17c. the chief function was to determine the cause of death in cases not obviously natural.
