usury
usury: [14] Usury is etymologically ‘use’ of money lent. The term comes via Anglo-Norman *usurie from medieval Latin ūsūria, an alteration of classical Latin ūsūra ‘use of money lent’, hence ‘interest’. This in turn was derived from ūsus ‘use’, source also of English use and usage.=> use
usury (n.)
c. 1300, "practice of lending money at interest," later, at excessive rates of interest, from Medieval Latin usuria, alteration of Latin usura "payment for the use of money, interest," literally "a usage, use, enjoyment," from usus, from stem of uti (see use (v.)). From mid-15c. as "premium paid for the use of money, interest," especially "exorbitant interest."
