In a twist of language irony, "escrow" derives from an Old French word (spoken in the years 900 to 1400) meaning "scrap", "shred", and — most obviously — "scroll". According to the Oxford English Dictionary, this connects in Modern French to the verb "écrouer", "to lock up in jail", and to a noun that means "entry of a name in a jail register".

"escrow" (n.) 1590s, from Anglo-French "escrowe", from Old French "escroe" "scrap", "small piece", "rag", "tatter", "single parchment", from a Germanic source akin to Old High German "scrot" "a scrap", "shred", "a piece cut off" (see "shred" (n.)).

Lottery - A lottery is one of the aleatory contracts and is commonly defined as a distribution of prizes by lot or by chance

Etymology of the word reveals that at the origin lies the old German word "hleut", versions of which can be found in most Germanic and Romance languages ("lot" in English and French, "Los" in contemporary German, and "lote" in Spanish). It signifies "part of a whole to be distributed". It is not clear which language was the first to take the step from "lot" to "lottery". Leading contenders among etymologists are Italian and Flemish/Dutch, foreshadowing the actual history of lotteries in Europe. The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines a "lottery" as a procedure for "distributing something among a group of people by lot or chance". In other words, a "lottery" is an allocation mechanism which assigns anything from property rights to punishments by chance. This is what we will take to be a "lottery" in the broad sense. By contrast, a "lottery" in the narrow sense will be understood to mean what the above cited encyclopaedia describes as a form of gambling in which a usually large number of people purchase chances, called lottery tickets. Apart from the most basic type of lottery in which winners are simply drawn from the pool of tickets sold, there have been two other prominent forms of such games over the past centuries: the "Dutch lottery" or "class lottery" and the "lotto di Génova", both of which will be described below as they appear in the historic context.

"Nobel" war auch die Bezeichnung für eine ehemahlige englische Goldmünze (unter Eduard III, 1343 bis 1377). Diese Bezeichnung der ältesten englischen Goldmünze soll darauf beruhen, dass Gold, als das edelste Metall, "nobile" hieß. Wegen der darauf geprägten Rose wurde sie auch "Noble a la rose" oder "Nobiles rosatos", dt. "Rosenobel" genannt. Da es König "Eduard III" der dritte war, der sie prägen ließ hieß sie auch "Eduardnobel". Außerdem brachte ihr der auf der Vorderseite in einem Schiff sitzende König auch die Bezeichnung "Schiffsnobel" ein.
