disciplines の語源・成り立ち Etymology
disciplines はラテン語 disciplina（教え・訓練）にさかのぼり、さらに discere（学ぶ）と同系です。語尾 -s は複数形で、もとは「学んで身につけること」から、今の「学問の分野」という意味へ広がりました。関連語は disciple, discipline。
Disciplines is the plural of discipline, with the regular plural ending -s. Discipline came through Old French from Latin disciplina, meaning instruction, teaching, learning, or training, and is related to discere, “to learn.” From the idea of an organized body of teaching, the word developed the academic sense of a recognized branch of knowledge. Disciple is historically related through the same Latin family, though its modern meaning is different.
