chancellorn.Brit. /ˈtʃɑːnsl̩ə/, /ˈtʃɑːnslə/, /ˈtʃansl̩ə/, /ˈtʃanslə/, U.S. /ˈtʃæns(ə)lər/ Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French canceler, chancellor. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman canceler, chauncellar, chancellor, chanselour, chauncler, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French chancelier, Old French cancelier (French chancelier ) chief secretary of a king, etc. (late 11th cent.), keeper of the royal seal (late 12th cent. with reference to England), cleric in charge of the seal of an ecclesiastical chapter (13th cent.), notary public (late 13th cent. or earlier), titular head of a university (late 13th cent.) < post-classical Latin cancellarius secretary, scribe, clerk (4th cent.), doorkeeper (5th cent.), legal scribe or secretary (7th cent.), clerk, scribe in a monastery (9th cent.), chief secretary in a continental European country (9th cent.; from 1200 in British sources), chief secretary of a bishop, diocese, or cathedral (11th cent.; frequently from 12th cent. in British sources), chief secretary in England (frequently from 11th cent. in British sources), chief secretary in Scotland (frequently from 12th cent. in British sources), chief secretary in Ireland (from 12th cent. in British sources), titular head of a university (frequently from 13th cent. in British sources) < classical Latin cancellus latticework, used e.g. as a screen, door, or bar (in court) (see cancelli n. and compare chancel n.) + -ārius -ary suffix1. Parallels in other languages Compare Old Occitan cancelier , chancelier (14th cent.), Catalan canceller (13th cent.), Spanish canciller (12th cent. as chanciller ), Italian cancelliere (13th cent.), also Middle Low German kenselēr , Middle Dutch cancelaer , cancellier (Dutch kanselier , †kanselaar ), Old High German kanzillāri (Middle High German kanzelære , German Kanzler ), Old Icelandic kanzellari , kanceller , Old Swedish kancelär (Swedish kansler ), Old Danish cantzeler (Danish kansler ), and Welsh canghellor , cynghellor (12th cent.). Variant Forms. In early use the α. forms probably reflect Anglo-Norman and northern French forms (compare Anglo-Norman cancelers and Middle French (northern) canchelier ); in later use they probably show alteration as a result of association of the word with cancel v. in early modern etymological discussions. With the form chancelleur at β. forms compare -eur suffix. With the γ. forms compare -ar suffix2 and the discussion at that entry. In the ε. forms probably partly after -or suffix, although similar forms are also already attested in Anglo-Norman; compare the discussion at -or suffix on variation between -er and -or /-our . In the ζ. forms perhaps with assimilation of the internal consonant to the initial ch . Early attestations with reference to England. Some of the earliest evidence (in any language) for use denoting the holder of an office in the royal household in England (see sense 2a), refers to Regenbald, priest of Edward the Confessor. It is not entirely certain that any of these (late) attested uses go back to the time of Edward the Confessor, however, and there has been some dispute about the precise functions and rank Regenbald assumed in the royal household. Compare quot. lOE2 at sense 2a, which cannot be taken as proving currency in English before 1066, as the source is apparently a forgery and unlikely to have been composed earlier than the late 11th cent. at the earliest. Compare also canceler , interlined as an addition to Regenbald's name in Domesday Bk. (1086), although it is unclear whether this should be interpreted as showing the Anglo-Norman or the Old English word. However, use of post-classical Latin cancellarius with reference to Herfast, chancellor of William the Conqueror (in 1068–9), is undisputed. Quot. lOE1 at sense 2a refers to Robert Bloet, chancellor of William Rufus (from 1091), but probably cannot be taken as implying currency of the word in English before the first half of the 12th cent., even though the annal reports events of 1093. 1. society > authority > office > holder of office > official of royal or great household > [noun] > chancellor lOE (Laud) (Peterborough contin.) anno 1123 Ða hwile þet se ærcebiscop wæs ut of lande, geaf se kyng ðone biscoprice..þes cwenes canceler, Godefreið wæs gehaten. a1382 (Bodl. 959) (1963) 2 Kings xx. 24 Josaphaþ þe sone of Achilud þe chaunceler [a1425 Corpus Oxf. chaunselere; 1535 Coverdale chaunceler; 1611 King James recorder; L. a commentariis]. c1400 (?a1300) (Laud) (1952) l. 1809 Darrie..clepeþ his chauncelere, And hoteþ hym sende fer and nere..lettres hard. c1450 J.
