Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French pupillarité.
Etymology: < Middle French pupilarité, pupillarité (French pupillarité ; now rare) condition of being a ward, period of time during which a child is a ward (1398) < pupillaire pupillary adj.1 + -ité -ity suffix.Du Cange cites a post-classical Latin form pupillarietas in same sense, which may be attested in an Italian source in 1294. However, it is possible that the passage in question (which has in pupillarietate, ablative singular) should be taken as a scribal error for in pupillari aetate ‘at the age of a pupil’.
1. Civil Law and Scots Law. The state of being below the legal age of puberty; the period during which a person remains in this state. Cf. pupil n.1 1. Now chiefly historical.
