late Middle English (formerly also as imploy): from Old French employer, based on Latin implicari ‘be involved in or attached to’, passive form of implicare (see imply). In the 16th and 17th century the word also had the senses ‘enfold, entangle’ and ‘imply’, derived directly from Latin; compare with implicate
古フランス語のemployerに由来し、ラテン語のimplicari「~に巻き込まれる、~につく」の受身形、implicare(implyを参照)。16世紀から17世紀にかけて、この単語はラテン語から直接派生した「巻き込む、絡める」「暗示する」という意味も持っていた;implicateと比較。
