Did you know?
"Sinecure" comes from the Medieval Latin phrase "sine cura," which literally means "without cure." Not surprisingly, the earliest known use of "sinecure" referred to an ecclesiastical benefice without cure of souls—that is, a clerical office in which the job-holder did not have to tend to the spiritual care and instruction of church members. Such sinecures were virtually done away with by the end of the 19th century, but by then the word had acquired a broader sense referring to any paid position with few or no responsibilities.
