Uncovering the Forgotten Role of Almoners in Charity Distribution

Almoner is an archaic term for a person who distributes alms, which are gifts of money or other forms of charity to those in need. The word is derived from the Latin "almus," meaning "alms" or "charity." In the past, almoners were often appointed by churches or other religious institutions to distribute alms to the poor and needy. Today, the term is largely obsolete, but it can still be found in some historical or literary contexts.
