起源与历史

From Latin 'publicus' meaning 'of the people, of the state', altered from 'poplicus', from 'populus' (the people). The same root gives us 'publish' (make public), 'republic' (public affair), and 'popular'. The opposite 'private' comes from Latin 'privatus' (set apart from public life).

故事与趣闻

The confusing term 'public school' in Britain dates to when these schools were open to 'the public' (anyone who could pay) rather than being restricted to local residents or religious groups. Today they're among the most elite and expensive schools.
