Etymology of RE CREANCE

The word "recreance" has its origin in Middle English and ultimately derives from the Old French word "recroissance".

In Old French, "recroissance" referred to the act of growing again or renewing something, with "re-" denoting repetition or again, and "croissance" meaning growth.

Over time, the term evolved in Middle English to "recrayant" and eventually to "recreant". In this context, "recreant" denoted someone who had abandoned or renounced their allegiance, particularly in a knightly or chivalric sense. The term was often used to describe a knight who fled from battle or failed to fulfill their duties.

Later on, "recreant" gave rise to the term "recreance", which referred to the state or act of being recreant.
