CROZIER

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 521 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
CROZIER , or
pastoral
  staff, one of the insignia of a
bishop
 , and probably derived from the lituus of the
Roman
 
augurs
 . It is crook-headed, and borne by bishops and archbishops alike (see
PASTORAL
  STAFF). The,word "crozier" or "crosier" re-presents the O. Fr. crocier, Med. Lat. crociarius, the bearer of the episcopal crook (Med. Lat. crocea, croccia, &c., Fr. croc). The
English
  representative of crocea was Grose, later crosse, which, becoming confused with"
cross
  " (q.v.), was replaced by" crozier-
staff " or ` crozier's staff," and then, at the beginning of the 16th
century
 , by " crozier " (see J. T.
Taylor
 , Archaeologia, lii., " On the Use of the Terms Crosier, Pastoral Staff and
Cross
  ").
