词源

"late 17th cent. （originally in the formula Culprit, how will you be tried?, said by the Clerk of the Crown to a prisoner pleading not guilty）： perhaps from a misinterpretation of the written abbreviation cul. prist, for Anglo-Norman French Culpable： prest d'averrer notre bille （You are） guilty：（We are） ready to prove our indictment'；in later use influenced by Latin culpa ‘fault, blame’."
