It is from the Anglo-French verb franchir, meaning "to free," itself from franc, "free." To be perfectly frank, the word franchise is most often encountered today with reference to restaurant chains or professional sports teams (e.g., "a franchise quarterback"), not to mention branded retail stores and sequel-driven movies and novels. These commercial meanings are far from the original meaning of the word in English: "freedom or immunity from some burden or restriction vested in a person or group." This meaning evolved into the "right to vote" sense of the word.14世纪初英语franchise即被用作名词又被用作动词。

它来自盎格鲁-法语动词franchir，其寄义是“to free「挣脱」”，franchir则来自franc，“free「自由」”。坦率地说，“franchise「特许谋划」”一词在今天最常见的是餐厅连锁店或专业运动队（例如“a franchise quaterback「特许四分卫」”），更不用说品牌零售店和续集影戏和小说了。

这些商业寄义与英文单词的原始寄义相去甚远：“freedom or immunity from some burden or restriction vested in a person or group。” 这个寄义演变出“right to vote「投票权」”一词。
