tithe
의미: A one-tenth part of annual income or produce, historically paid as a tax to support the church; any small proportion or fraction.
Tithe originally referred to the compulsory payment of one-tenth of one's agricultural produce or income to the established church. In England, tithes were a source of significant social tension, particularly for Nonconformists who objected to supporting the Church of England. Tithe barns — where the collected produce was stored — survive in many English villages. In modern usage, tithing continues in some religious traditions. Figuratively, 'not a tithe of' means only a small fraction. Common collocations include 'pay a tithe,' 'tithe barn,' 'church tithe,' and 'not a tithe of.'
