_Payer_, to pay, is still used in its original sense of pacifying or satisfying, the Latin _pacare_. Thus a priest who has received from his bishop an explanation of some difficulty and other ghostly comfort “_se tint bin pour paié_” (p. 34 C), he “considered himself well satisfied.” When the King objected to certain words in the oath which he had to take, Joinville says that he does not know how the oath was finally arranged, but he adds, “_Li amiral se tindrent lien apaié_,” “The admirals considered themselves satisfied” (p. 242 C). The same word, however, is likewise used in the usual sense of paying. _Noise_, a word which has almost disappeared from modern French, occurs several times in Joinville; and we can watch in different passages the growth of its various meanings. In one passage Joinville relates (p. 198) that one of his knights had been killed, and was lying on a bier in his chapel. While the priest was performing his office, six other knights were talking very loud, and “_Faisoient noise au prestre_,” “They annoyed or disturbed the priest; they caused him annoyance.” Here _noise_ has still the same sense as the Latin _nausea_, from which it is derived. In another passage, however, Joinville uses _noise_ as synonymous with _bruit_ (p. 152 A), _Vint li roys à toute sa bataille, à grant noyse et à grant bruit de trompes et nacaires_, _i.e._ _vint le roi avec tout son corps de bataille, à grand cris et à grand bruit de trompettes et de timbales._ Here _noise_ may still mean an annoying noise, but we can see the easy transition from that to noise in general. Another English word, “to purchase,” finds its explanation in Joinville. Originally _pourchasser_ meant to hunt after a thing, to pursue it. Joinville frequently uses the expression “_par son pourchas_” (p. 458 E) in the sense of “by his endeavors.” When the King had reconciled two adversaries, peace is said to have been made _par son pourchas_. “_Pourchasser_” afterwards took the sense of “procuring,” “catering,” and lastly, in English, of “buying.”
