Where does "rule of thumb" come from? | FACTUAL FEMINIST

rule of thumb; 経験則、正確ではないが実用な方法
たとえば、試験問題において「a〜dの選択肢の中で、cが正解である確率が高いような気がする」のような経験則のことです。

rod; 棒
switch; むち

The "rule of thumb" of English common law permitted a man to beat his wife with a rod or switch as long as its circumference was no greater than the girth of the base of the man's right thumb. These laws established a tradition which was perpetuated in English Common Law and in most of Europe.
(rule of thumbの語源には諸説あり、だいたいの長さを測るために親指を使ったからという説が有力です。妻を殴るのに許されていた棒の太さが親指の太さまでであったという説がありますが、ウソのようです。この動画でもNOと言っています。)
