sinecura
  14

Latinism: no care, no dedication, no obligation. Some priests in the Middle Ages enjoyed beneficium sine cura for some special musical, literary, research or whatever occupation. They were exempt from the healing of souls, from the spiritual care of the faithful. I think that the musician Antonio Vivaldi, the red priest, was in this situation but more than because of his musical activity because of his poor health. Latinism ended up meaning employment or office, especially in the realm of nobility and clergy, which gives little or no work and good remuneration. A bargain, a bicoca, the perks of the powerful and almost always pararásitos.
