conrogata

Latin

Etymology 1

Likely via the ellipsis of a phrase such as *[opera conrogāta]. Alternatively, directly built from conrogō + -āta (late noun-forming suffix). First attested in the quote below (5th c. CE).

Noun

conrogāta f (genitive conrogātae); first declension

  1. (Late Latin) collective labour brought about by request
    • Early 5th c. CE, Caesarius of Arles
      Quomodo solet fieri, ut, cuius vinea per neglegentiam deserta remanserit, roget vicinos et proximos suos, et una die multitudinem hominum congregans, quod per se solum non potuit, multorum manibus adiutus, id quod desertum fuerat reparetur: ita ergo et ille, qui publice paenitentiam vult petere, quasi conrogatam vel conbinam dinoscitur congregare; ut totius populi orationibus adiutus spinas et tribulos peccatorum suorum possit evellere.
      Just as it often comes about that a man whose vineyard has been left abandoned through neglect makes a request to his neighbours and locals, and one day gathers together a multitude of men, and assisted by the hands of many makes good that which had been abandoned, something which he could not have achieved on his own; so too the man who wants to seek public penitence is seen, as it were, to gather together labour or support, so that, assisted by the prayers of the whole people, he can root out the thorns and spines of his sins.[1]
  2. (Medieval Latin) corvee, feudal fee
