Etymology of MANCIPLES

The word "manciples" can be traced back to the Latin word "manceps", which is derived from "manus" (meaning "hand") and "capere" (meaning "to take"). In ancient Roman times, a "manceps" referred to a purchaser, buyer, or steward who was responsible for procuring supplies, particularly food, for institutions such as colleges, monasteries, or noble households. Over time, the term evolved into "manciple" in Middle English, referring to a steward or officer in charge of purchasing and managing provisions for an institution, especially a college or monastery.
