Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English paternoster, pater noster, from Old English Paternoster, from Latin Pater noster (our father) (the first two words of the Oratio Dominica (the Lord's prayer)), from pater (father) + noster (our). The lift and the fishing equipment are named from their resemblance to a rosary.
