Word Origin & History

expense 
1382, from Anglo-Fr. expense, O.Fr. espense "money provided for expenses," from L.L. expensa "disbursement," prop. neut. pl. pp. of L. expendere "to weigh out money, to pay down" (see expend). Expensive first recorded 1628 with a sense of "given to profuse expenditure," but by 1634 meaning "costly." L. spensa also yielded M.L. spesa, which was borrowed into O.H.G. as spisa and is the root of Ger. Spiese "food."
