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.

generosity (n.)early 15c., "nobility, goodness of race," from Latin generositatem (nominative generositas) "nobility, excellence, magnanimity," from generosus "of noble birth; magnanimous" (see generous). Meaning "munificence, quality of being generous" is recorded from 1670s."
