A person who pays an assisa or is subject to a medieval tax or assessment.
From 'assisa' plus '-an' (a person associated with). This agent suffix creates a noun describing someone in relation to the tax or assize system.
This forgotten word reminds us that most historical occupations and social roles have vanished from language—there are no 'assisans' anymore because medieval tax structures are completely gone, taking their specialist vocabulary with them.
