释义

portionistn.

Brit. /ˈpɔːʃn̩ɪst/, /ˈpɔːʃ(ə)nɪst/, U.S. /ˈpɔrʃ(ə)nəst/
Forms: 1500s porcioniste, 1500s portioniste, 1500s– portionist.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin portionista.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin porcionista, portionista postmaster at Merton College (from 1452 in British sources), student receiving a portion of food and drink (from 1499 in continental sources) < classical Latin portiōn- , portiō portion n. + -ista -ist suffix.With spec. reference to postmasters at Merton College, on account of their ‘weekly portion’ (post-classical Latin ebdomadalis portionis ), as in the following:c1500 H. E. Salter Registrum Annalium Collegii Mertonensis (1923) 515 Et quod sic admissus, quando commune precium modii frumenti xii d. non excedit, percipiat tantum vii d. pro ebdomadali portione.Compare the following examples of post-classical Latin portionista in sense 1:1452 Merton Coll. Accts. (Merton Coll. Rec. 3769) In reparacione muri alte camere et aliorum in aula porcionistarum.1483 Merton Coll. Reg. 31 Dec. Insuper porcionistarum numerum decretum est augeri sec. magistrorum numerum.1546 Merton Coll. Reg. 11 May Scholaris aulæ portionistarum. From the date of their institution (in 1380) until the mid 15th cent. the scholars appear in the College Register only as pueri (M. Johannis) Wylyot ‘Wylyot's boys’:1381 Merton Coll. Rolls Acc. Compotus. Magister puerorum Wylyot. Post-classical Latin portionista is also recorded in a document relating to University College, Oxford, dating from between 1380 and 1475 (although only surviving in a 17th-cent. transcript: University College Archives: UC:GB1/MS1/1), and thus perhaps earlier than the above examples: ‘Item consuetudo est..quod tota comitiva duos habeat porcionistas, quorum uterque alternis ebdomadis, bibliam legat, et alternis portam custodiat: quibus saltem semel in die de communi eleemosyne ministretur’ ‘Item it is the custom that..the whole company must have two portionists, each of whom in alternate weeks must read the Bible and guard the gate: and for whom provision is to be made once a day from common alms’.
