What a coincidence that I'm reading your comment on the day I learned about the origin of 'culprit' https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/culprit > From Anglo-Norman cul. prit, contraction of culpable: prest (d'averrer nostre bille) 'guilty: ready (to prove our case)', words used by prosecutor in opening a trial, mistaken in English for an address to the defendant. |
