dispute (v.) - 大约1300，源自古法语desputer (12世纪) "dispute, fight over, contend for, discuss"，源自拉丁语disputare "weigh, examine, discuss, argue, explain"，源自dis- "separately" (参见dis-) + putare "to count, consider"，原始含义 "to prune" (源自原始印欧语词根*pau- (2) "to cut, strike, stamp")。用于拉丁语圣经中表示 "to argue, contend with words"。同根词：Disputable; disputed; disputing。名词在16世纪90年代没有确切记载 (相同含义的disputacioun始于14世纪晚期)。
