1. 拉丁语 villa 'country house' => villain.2. villa 原指“农庄住宅、庄园”,而 villain 则指为 villa 的主人工作的“农奴、农民”,后来贵族由于阶级优越感以及他们对农民的阶级偏见,往往把意指农民、乡下人的词语同“愚昧、粗野、邪恶”等概念相联系,由此含义出现了贬降。3. 同源词:villa, villain, village.

executive (adj.)mid-15c., "performed, carried out;" 1640s, "of the branch of government that carries out the laws," from Middle French executif, from Latin executivus, from past participle stem of exequi "follow after; carry out, accomplish" (see execution). The noun in this sense is from 1776, as a branch of government charged with the execution and enforcement of the laws. Meaning "high-ranking businessman" is 1902 in American English; hence the adjectival sense "stylish, luxurious, costly" (1970s). Executive privilege is attested by 1805, American English."
