Elementary Eleemosynary

I encountered a new word today.  It is so odd looking: eleemosynary - of, relating to, or supported by charity. According to Merriam Webster, it comes from the Medieval Latin eleemosynarius, from Late Latin eleemosyna  meaning alms. First Known Use: circa 1616. 

I found it is a description of county council legislation to provide preferential zoning criteria for charitable organizations.
