bargain有交易;便宜货;契约;讨价还价;议价等意思，那么你知道bargain的用法吗？
一、意思
1、bargain 讨价还价
2、来自拉丁词barca, 驳船，同barge. 指驳船上装载货物进行的一种传统的交易方式。
二、用法
1、bargain: [14] Bargain appears to be distantly related to borrow. Its immediate source was Old French bargaignier ‘haggle’, but this was probably borrowed from Germanic borganjan, a derivative of borgun (from which ultimately we get borrow). The sense development may have been as follows: originally ‘look after, protect’ (the related Germanic burg- produced English borough, which to begin with meant ‘fortress’, and bury); then ‘take on loan, borrow’; then ‘take or give’; and hence ‘trade, haggle, bargain’.belfrey, borough, borrow, bury
2、late 14c., from Old French bargaignier (12c., Modern French barguigner)"to haggle over the price,"perhaps from Frankish borganjan"to lend"or some other Germanic source, ultimately from Proto-Germanic borgan (cognates: Old High German borgen; Old English borgian, source of borrow). Another suggestion is that the French word comes from Late Latin barca"a barge,"because it"carries goods to and fro."There are difficulties with both suggestions. Related: Bargained; bargaining.
3、mid-14c.,"business transaction or agreement,"also"that which is acquired by bargaining,"from Old French bargaine, from bargaignier (see bargain (v.)). Meaning"article priced for special sale"is from 1899. A bargain basement (1899) originally was a basement floor in a store where bargains were displayed.
