library
English
Etymology
Middle English librarie, from Anglo-Norman librarie, from Old French librairie, from Latin librarium (“bookcase, chest for books”), from librarius (“concerning books”), from liber (“the inner bark of trees; paper, parchment, book”), probably derived from a Proto-Indo-European base *leub(?)- (“to strip, to peel”). Displaced native Middle English bochus, bochous (literally “book house”), from Old English b?ch?s.
Romance cognates often mean “bookshop” instead: French librairie, Italian libreria, Spanish librería and Portuguese livraria. This is a relatively recent innovation (16th century in French), which ended up displacing the earlier sense.
