mumpsimusn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈmʌm(p)sᵻməs/, U.S.

/ˈməm(p)səməs/

Forms: 1500s mumsimusses (plural), 1500s mumsymussis (plural), 1500s– mumpsimus, 1600s mumsimus.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mumpsimus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin mumpsimus (1517 in R. Pace De Fructu), use as noun of mumpsimus , an error for classical Latin sumpsimus ‘we have taken’ (see sumpsimus n.), apparently in allusion to the story (1516 in Erasmus) of an illiterate English priest, who when corrected for reading ‘quod ore mumpsimus’ in the Mass, replied, ‘I will not change my old mumpsimus for your new sumpsimus’.

A. n.

a. A person who obstinately adheres to old ways in spite of clear evidence that they are wrong; an ignorant and bigoted opponent of reform.
