Copernicus-Sprague, Drew, Rosas, Silva-Oxford Dictionary

We chose the three words: friar, compunction, and fetters from "The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer to define, using the Oxford Dictionary. 

The word friar in Middle English means "brother". But in modern times, it is translated as, "a member of any certain religious orders of men, especially the four mendicant orders" (oxforddictionaries.com). 

The word compunction in Middle English comes from Latin phrases meaning "prick sharply". The Oxford Dictionary translates it as as a "feeling of guilt or moral scruple that prevents or follows the doing of something bad". 

The word fretters in Old English is of German origin and relates to the Indo-European root 'foot'. The Oxford Dictionary translates this into: "a chain or manacle used to restrain a prisoner, typically placed around the ankles".
