Certainly the mathematical notion of a fraction was known to the Babylonians, perhaps as early as 2000b.c. But our wordfraction goes back only to the Latin word frangere, "to break.” From the stem of the past participlefrāctus is derived Late Latin frāctiō, "a breaking" or "a breaking in pieces,”as in the breaking of the Eucharistic Host.In Medieval Latin the wordfrāctiō developed its mathematical sense, which was taken into Middle English along with the word.The earliest recorded sense of our word is "an aliquot part of a unit, a fraction or subdivision,”found in a work by Chaucer written about 1400.One of the next recorded instances of the word recalls its origins, referring to the "brekying or fraccioun" of a bone.人们也许认为一个词如fraction 以及它的词源总是指数学上的分数。 当然，分数的数学概念也许早在公元前 2000年就已被巴比伦人所熟知。 但fraction 一词仅能追溯到拉丁词 frangere ，“打碎”。 源自过去分词fractus 的词干是派生的后期拉丁语 fractio ， 意为“破裂”或“碎成一片片的”，如感恩节的饼的碎块。在中世纪拉丁语中，fractio 一词出现了数学意义， 这个词连同此意义都被记入中世纪英语中。这个词最早记载的意义是“一个数学单元，繁分数或再分数的约数”，出现在约1400年乔臾写的一部作品里。后来此词有记录的例子之一，指骨头上的“裂痕或碎片”，使人回忆起它的起源〔Babylonian〕A native or inhabitant of Babylon or Babylonia.巴比伦人：巴比伦城或巴比伦王国的居民或本地人〔Amorite〕A member of one of several ancient Semitic peoples primarily inhabiting Canaan, where they preceded the Israelites, and Babylonia.亚摩利人：在以色列人和巴比伦人之前原居住在迦南的几个古闪米特族人的成员〔Chaldean〕A member of an ancient Semitic people who ruled in Babylonia.（古）巴比伦人：统治巴比伦的闪族人成员〔Babylonian〕Of or relating to Babylonia or Babylon or their people, culture, or language.巴比伦的：巴比伦王国或巴比伦城、巴比伦人、巴比伦文化、巴比伦语言的或与之相关的〔Nippur〕An ancient city of Babylonia on the Euphrates River southeast of Babylon. It was an important religious center in Sumerian times.尼普尔：位于幼发拉底河上巴比伦东南的巴比伦人的古城市，是苏美尔人时期的一个重要宗教中心 |
