MISERERE (the imperative of Lat. misereri, to have mercy or pity)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 578 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MISERERE (the imperative of Lat. misereri, to have mercy or pity) , the name of one of the penitential
psalms
  (li.), from its opening words,
Miserere
  mei, Deus. The word is frequently used in
English
  as equivalent to "Misericord" (Lat. misericordia, pity, compassion) for various forms in which the rules of a monastic order, or general discipline of the clergy might be relaxed; thus it is applied to a
special
  chamber in a monastery for those members who were allowed
special
  food, drink, &c., and to a small bracket on the under side of the seat in a stall of a
church
  made to turn up and afford support to a person in a position between sitting and
standing
 . " Misericord " and "
miserere
  " are also used of a small
dagger
 , the "
dagger
  of mercy," capable of passing between the joints of
armour
 , with which the coup de grace might be given to a wounded man.
