sempectn.

/ˈsɛmpɛkt/

Etymology: < medieval Latin sempēcta, senpecta, sympæcta, < Greek συμπαίκτης playfellow.

Historical. rare.

A term formerly used in the Benedictine Order, according to Pseudo-Ingulf applied to monks over fifty years old, who were allowed special privileges on account of age. This seems to be a misapprehension. In the Benedictine Rule itself (cap. xxvii) senpectæ denotes the elder monks chosen by the abbot to visit (secretly) an excommunicated brother and to encourage him if likely to fall into despair.
