mendicant friars
"行乞,靠施舍或救济生活"(指修道士的秩序),15世纪晚期,源自拉丁语 mendicaunt,来自拉丁语 mendicare 的现在分词 mendicantem(主格 mendicans),意为"乞讨,要求施舍",源自 mendicus "乞丐",最初意为"跛子"(通过跛子必须乞讨的联系),来自 menda "缺陷,身体缺陷",源自 PIE 词根 *mend- "身体缺陷,过错"(参见 amend(v.))。
意为"降至乞讨,乞讨",始于1610年代。中古英语中与宗教秩序有关的旧词是 mendinant(14世纪中叶),来自古法语 mendinant,是 mendiner 的现在分词,意为"乞讨",源自同一拉丁语来源。 mendicant orders(freurs mendicantes 或 begging friars,主要是方济各会、加尔默罗会和奥斯定会)是那些最初依靠他们所接受的施舍来维持生计的宗教秩序。
