From An Etymology
Dictionary of the English Language, by Walter W. Skeat, 1893 |
|
ADVOWSON,
the right of presentation to a benefice. (F.,—L.) Occurs
in the Statute of Westminster, an. 13 Edw. I, c. 5; see Blount's Law
Dictionary. Merely borrowed from O.F. advouson, also spelt adwouson;
see Adwouson d'église in Roquefort. The sense is patronage,
and the corresponding term in Law Lat. is aduocatio (see Blount), because the
patron was called aduocatus, or in O.F. avoué, now spelt avowee or
advowee in
English. Hence advowson is derived from Lat. aduocationem, acc. of
aduocatio, and advowee is derived from Lat. aduocatus. See
Advocate.
