Definition
A piece of bread or cheese eaten as an ordeal or test, sometimes used in ancient legal proceedings to determine guilt or innocence.
Etymology
From Old English cors (curse) + snǽd (morsel, bite). This archaic term refers to a superstitious practice where swallowing certain foods was believed to reveal truth or result in divine punishment for the guilty.
Kelly Says
Trial by corsned was a fascinating medieval belief—people thought that if a guilty person swallowed cursed bread, they would choke or sicken, making it an early form of 'lie detector' based on pure superstition!
