◉词源

Bail（保释金/保释）约于15世纪晚期插足英语法律语境，源自古法语 baillier（托付、掌管），来自拉丁语 baiulare（承担包袱），由 baiulus（搬运工）生息。开头指“监护、托管”，后演变为“临时开释犯东说念主并提供担保”。演变经由：从“托付/承担服务”彭胀为刑事功令中的保释轨制，也发展出“舀出（水）”的用法（源自“桶”义的同源词）。词根 baiul-（来自拉丁 baiulus “搬运工”，可能与承载有关）

◉ Usage Notes

Bail can be a verb or a noun. When you bail (verb) someone out of jail， you post money， also known as bail (noun)， to assure the authorities that person won't try to run away before going to trial.

As a noun， bail means bond money. This comes from the Middle English word bayle， for "captivity." As a verb， the idea of "bailing out" comes from the later word baile， which means “dipping out，” a meaning you can use when you are trying to empty something flooded. If your boat has a leak， you should bail it out (then plug the leak). When you bail， in the colloquial sense， you escape in some way.
