Fortunately, people are no longer fined for recusancy in England. |  |

Not a word I've used very much since my first year at Uni, where Catholic recusancy in Tudor England seemed to loom large. |  |

Weirdly, serendipitous came up in conversation today.
Very random choice of word! |  |

The process of recusing oneself? ie. not being involved in decisions in which you have an interest.
EDIT: I've looked it up. My definition of recusing is correct but recusancy means something different. Both come from the Latin recusare (to reject).
I did both the Tudors and the Reformation for A-level history so would probably have known the meaning at one time. [Post edited 18 Oct 2024 15:17]

his recusancy really pissed off the archbishop of canterbury. |  |
