來源：
Middle English
中古英文
from Anglo-Norman brocour, abrocour ; akin to possibly akin to Spanish alboroque [ceremonial gift at conclusion of business deal]
源自 英法文 brocour, abrocour ；類似於 可能類似於 西班牙語 alboroque [一筆交易做成時禮節性的禮物]

<注釋>Giving gifts to one`s broker might be justifiable from an etymological point of viewbecause the wordbroker may be connected through its Anglo-Norman source brocour, abrocour, with Spanish alboroque, meaning .ceremony or ceremonial gift after the conclusion of a business deal..If this connection does exist,.business deal. is the notion shared by the Spanish and Anglo-Norman wordsbecausebrocour referred to the middleman in transactions. The English wordbroker is first found in Middle English in 355, several centuries before we find instances of its familiar compoundspawnbroker, first recorded in '87, and stockbroker, first recorded in 70'.
從詞源的角度來說，送禮物給經紀人是有一番道理的。因為broker 一詞也許通過英國法文的詞源 brocour，abrocour 與西班牙語 alboroque 形成親屬關係， 而後者意為.一筆交易做成時作為禮節性的禮品.。如果這一關係的確存在，那么西班牙語辭彙和英國法文辭彙中都有.交易.這一概念。因為brocour 指做交易的中間人。 英文單詞broker 第一次被發現使用，是在355年的中世紀英文中， 距我們發現它的為人熟知的複合詞pawnbroker （'87年第一次被記錄下來）和 stockbroker （70'第一次被記錄下來）已有好幾個世紀了
