TITHE Meaning and Definition

  1. Tithe, as a noun, refers to a specific percentage or portion of one's income or assets that is traditionally contributed to support religious institutions, specifically churches or the clergy. It is a form of obligatory giving, usually based on religious teachings or principles, and is often regarded as a spiritual or moral duty.

    The practice of tithing dates back to ancient times and is found in various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Typically, a standard tithe is ten percent of an individual's earnings or agricultural produce. Tithing serves as a means to financially support the religious community and its activities, such as the maintenance of places of worship or the provision of assistance to the needy.

    As a verb, "to tithe" means to give a tenth of one's income or assets as a contribution to a religious organization, or more generally, to donate a portion of one's resources for charitable purposes. Tithing is often considered an act of faith and devotion, with believers trusting that their contributions will be used wisely and for the greater good.

    Although tithing has primarily religious connotations, it can also be used metaphorically to describe any regular or compulsory contribution or payment that constitutes a specific fraction or proportion of one's income or resources.

  2. • A tenth part; the tenth part of the produce of land and stock allotted to the clergy.
    • To tax to the amount of a tenth; to pay tithes.
