Etymology of MISCREANCIES

The word "miscreancies" is derived from the noun "miscreancy". The term "miscreancy" itself originated from the Middle English term "miscreaunce" (also spelled "miscreance"), which emerged around the 14th century. This Middle English word was borrowed from Old French "mescreance", derived from the verb "mescreire", meaning "to disbelieve" or "to doubt".

The Old French term can be traced back to the Latin word "mīscrēdere", which is a combination of "mīs-" (meaning "wrongly" or "badly") and "crēdere" (meaning "to believe" or "to trust"). So, "miscreancy" essentially means a state or act of disbelief, distrust, or lack of faith. The plural form "miscreancies" is simply the pluralized version of this noun.
