| 词根词缀 | 词源： c.1300, from O.Fr. atorné "(one) appointed," pp. of aturner "to decree, assign, appoint," from atorner (see attorn). The legal L. form attornare influenced the spelling in Anglo-Fr. The sense is of "one appointed to represent another's interests." In English law, a private attorney was one appointed to act for another in business or legal affairs (usually for pay); an attorney at law or public attorney was a qualified legal agent in the courts of Common Law who prepared the cases for a barrister, who pleaded them (the equivalent of a solicitor in Chancery).
