pittancern.

Brit.

/ˈpɪt(ə)nsə/, U.S.

/ˈpɪtnsər/

Forms: late Middle English petauncere, late Middle English petaunseer, late Middle English pitaunceere, late Middle English pytauncere, 1500s pitancer, 1500s pytauncer, 1700s– pittancer, 1800s pietancer, 1800s pitanciar, 1800s pitancier.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: pittance n., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < pittance n. + -er suffix¹, after Middle French pitancier (1287 in Old French; French †pitancier). Compare post-classical Latin pitantiarius (frequently from 13th cent. in British and continental sources; also as pietantiarius), Old Occitan pitancier (14th–15th cent.), Spanish pitancero (1310 or earlier as †pitanzero), Portuguese pitanceiro (1268 as †pitançeiro).Apparently attested earlier as a surname (Rob. le Pitanciar (1282), Thomas le Pytauncer (1297)), although it is possible that these may reflect an otherwise unrecorded Anglo-Norman parallel. In form pitancier after French †pitancier.

Now historical.

An officer in a religious house having the duty of distributing and accounting for pittances.
