Wikipedia

  1. Discalced

    A discalced congregation is a religious congregation that goes barefoot or wears sandals. These congregations are often distinguished on this account from other branches of the same order. The custom of going unshod was introduced into the West by St Francis of Assisi for men and by St Clare of Assisi for women. The word is derived from the Latin discalceātus, from dis (apart, away) + calceātus (shod), from calceāre (to provide with shoes), from calceus (shoe), from calx (heel).

    Discalced refers to the practice, often in religious orders or sects, of going barefoot or wearing sandals or very simple shoes as an act of austerity or humility. It comes from the Latin word "discalceatus," which means "without shoes."
