What is a Lawmonger?

Lawmonger is an archaic term that was used in the 14th to 17th centuries to refer to a person who makes or interprets laws, particularly a member of a parliament or legislative body. The word is derived from the Old English words "law" and "monger," which means "one who deals with or sells."

In modern times, the term lawmonger has largely fallen out of use and has been replaced by more specific terms such as "legislator," "lawmaker," or "parliamentarian." However, the term can still be found in historical texts and legal documents from the period when it was commonly used.
