The word clercd enoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c?Utpriest?Uu , reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latinclericus, fro m Greek klerikos, a derivative of kleros ?Utinheritance?Uu,?Utlegacy?Uu, with r eference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy)?Utwhose inheritance w as the Lord?Uu. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy inminor orders were p ermitted to marry and so found families; thus thesurname could become e stablished. In the Middle Ages it was virtuallyonly members of religiou s orders who learned to read and write, so thatthe term clerk came to d enote any literate man.
