Compurgatory

/kɒmˈpɜːɡətɔːri/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the process of compurgation; involving oath-taking to establish innocence or credibility in medieval legal proceedings.

Etymology

From Medieval Latin 'compurgatorius' derived from 'compurgare'. The '-atory' suffix indicates relation to an action or process.

Kelly Says

Compurgatory oaths were so important that breaking one could result in losing a hand or having an ear cut off—making the physical stakes of false oaths very real and creating strong incentives for truthfulness among oath-takers.
