Forms: see un- prefix¹ and clergyable adj.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: un- prefix¹, clergyable adj.

Etymology: < un- prefix¹ + clergyable adj.

Law. Now historical and rare.

Of an offence: not clergyable (clergyable adj. 1); not admitting of a plea of benefit of clergy, and therefore not allowing of a more lenient sentence.For certain offences it was permissible, until the Criminal Law Act 1827, to plead ‘benefit of clergy’ (see benefit of clergy at clergy n. 6a), a privilege originally intended to allow clergymen exemption from trial by a secular court, and later gradually extended in scope to become a means by which first-time offenders on lesser charges could obtain a more lenient sentence.
