Etymology of MEASELRY

The word "measelry" is derived from the Middle English term "meselry" or "meselerie", which itself comes from the Old French word "mesel" meaning "leprous". In medieval times, a measelry referred to a leprosarium or lazar house, a place where individuals suffering from leprosy were quarantined or treated. The term later extended to denote a medieval hospital or shelter that cared for the sick or those afflicted with contagious diseases. Over time, however, the word fell out of use and is no longer commonly used today.
