音：壓東西

1880, from Fr. dossier "bundle of papers," from dos "back," supposedly because the bundle bore a label on the back, from L. dossum, var. of dorsum "back."

dossier原指的一捆紙"a bundle of papers"，

dossier 的 dos是"back",跟dorsal是一樣的來源的

而大概是之前的人都會在一捆紙的背後鑽洞做的標籤。

所以就從"back"的概念延伸到"a bunlde of papers"去了
