Etymology of MAUNDIES

The term "maundies" is derived from the Middle English word "maundé" or "maundy" which emerged during the 14th century. It was derived from the Old French word "mandé" meaning "commanded" or "mandatum" in Latin. The term originated from the phrase "mandatum novum do vobis" meaning "a new commandment I give unto you", which appears in the Latin Vulgate Bible. This phrase is a reference to the commandment given by Jesus Christ to his disciples during the Last Supper, as mentioned in John 13:34-35. Over time, "maundies" became associated with the ceremonial washing of feet on Maundy Thursday, which is the day before Good Friday in Christian traditions.
