支出金
(意味 2)解説 Definition
disbursements は、会社・政府・基金などから実際に支出された金額や項目を指す名詞です。会計、予算管理、助成金、経費精算などで、支払う行為よりも「出ていったお金そのもの」に焦点があります。
Disbursements are amounts of money that have actually been paid out by a company, government, fund, or similar organization. The word often appears in accounting, budgeting, grants, and expense records, where the focus is on the money that went out, not just the act of paying. In the plural, it often refers to several spending items or a list of paid amounts in an official record.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
disburse は dis-「外へ」+ bourse「財布」と考えると、財布や基金からお金が出ていくイメージで覚えやすいです。disbursements は payment より会計・公的文書寄りで、特に複数形では「いくつかの支出項目」「支出された金額の一覧」を指しやすい語です。支払う行為そのものより、記録に載る money out の額に注目します。reimbursement は出したお金が戻る「払い戻し」なので向きが逆です。
You can remember disburse by thinking of dis- as "out" and bourse as "purse." The image is money going out of a purse, wallet, or fund. Disbursements is more formal than payment and is often used for several spending items listed in accounts or official records. Unlike reimbursement, it does not mean money coming back.
例文

disbursements の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語「desbourser」に由来し、接頭辞dis-(離れて)とbourse(財布)の組み合わせで「財布から出す→支払う」が原義。bourseはラテン語「bursa(革袋)」から。関連語にreimburse(払い戻す=再び財布に入れる)がある。
Disbursements comes from Old French desbourser, literally "to take out of a purse." It combines dis- "away" with bourse "purse," from Latin bursa "bag" or "pouch." The original image was money leaving a purse, which later became the general idea of paying out money; reimburse is from the same purse root.
