place (n.)

c. 1200, "space, dimensional extent, room, area," from Old French

place

"place, spot" (12c.) and directly from Medieval Latin

placea

"place, spot," from Latin

platea

"courtyard, open space; broad way, avenue," from Greek

plateia (hodos)

"broad (way)," fem. of

platys

"broad," from PIE root

*plat-

"to spread."

Replaced Old English

stow

and

stede

. From mid-13c. as "particular part of space, extent, definite location, spot, site;" from early 14c. as "position or place occupied by custom, etc.; precedence, priority in rank or dignity; social status, position on some social scale;" from late 14c. as "inhabited place, town, country," also "place on the surface of something, portion of something, part." Meaning "a situation, appointment, or employment" is by 1550s. Meaning "group of houses in a town" is from 1580s.

Also from the same Latin source are Italian

piazza

, Catalan

plassa

, Spanish

plaza

, Middle Dutch

plaetse

, Dutch

plaats

, German

Platz

, Danish

plads

, Norwegian

plass

. The word appears via the Bible in Old English (Old Northumbrian

plaece, plaetse

"an open place in a city"), but the modern word is a reborrowing.

Sense of "a mansion with its adjoining grounds" is from mid-14c.; that of "building or part of a building set apart for some purpose is by late 15c. (in

place of worship

). Meaning "a broad way, square, or open space in a city or town," often having some particular use or character (

Park Place, Waverly Place,Rillington Place

) is by 1690s, from a sense in French. Its wide application in English covers meanings that in French require three words:

place, lieu

, and

endroit

. Cognate Italian

piazza

and Spanish

plaza

retain more of the etymological sense.

To

take place

"happen, come to pass, be accomplished" (mid-15c., earlier

have place

, late 14c.), translates French

avoir lieu

. To

know (one's) place

"know how to behave in a manner befitting one's rank, situation, etc." is from c. 1600, from the "social status" sense; hence the figurative expression

put (someone) in his or her place

(1855). In i

n the first place

, etc., it has the sense of "point or degree in order of proceeding" (1630s).

Out of place

"not properly adjusted or placed in relation to other things" is by 1520s.

All over the place

"in disorder" is attested from 1923.

Was 'Gastric Bypass' intended to be a serious vote on someone or not?

-ment

common suffix of Latin origin forming nouns, originally from French and representing Latin

-mentum

, which was added to verb stems to make nouns indicating the result or product of the action of the verb or the means or instrument of the action. In Vulgar Latin and Old French it came to be used as a formative in nouns of action. French inserts an

-e-

between the verbal root and the suffix (as in

commenc-e-ment

from

commenc-er

; with verbs in

ir

,

-i-

is inserted instead (as in

sent-i-ment

from

sentir

).

Used with English verb stems from 16c. (for example

amazement

,

betterment

,

merriment

, the last of which also illustrates the habit of turning

-y

to

-i-

before this suffix).

The stems to which

-ment

is normally appended are those of verbs; freaks like

oddment

&

funniment

should not be made a precedent of; they are themselves due to misconception of

merriment

, which is not from the adjective, but from an obsolete verb

merry

to rejoice. [Fowler]
