Etymology of PREST-MONEY

The term "Prest-money" is composed of two parts: "prest" and "money".

The word "prest" derives from the Middle English word "prest", which means to lend money or to advance funds. It originated from the Old French word "prester", derived from the Latin "praestare", meaning "to provide" or "to supply". In its original usage, "prest" referred to money advanced to a soldier or a sailor for their supplies or expenses.

On the other hand, the term "money" comes from the Middle English word "moneie", which in turn comes from the Old French word "monoie" and the Latin word "moneta". "Moneta" was the name of a temple in Rome where coins were minted, and it eventually came to refer to both the place of coinage and the coins themselves.
