Old Church Slavonic

тьмьница

Etymology

тьма (tĭma) +‎ -ьница (-ĭnica)

Noun

тьмьница (tĭmĭnicaf

  1. prison, dungeon
    • from the Homily against the Bogumils, 1086-1090:
      мъноѕи бо не вѣдѧтъ чьто ѥстъ ересь ихъ и мьнѧтъ ѩ за правьдѫ страждѫщѧ и хотѧщѧ нѣчьто въсприѩти благо отъ бога за ѫзꙑ и тьмьницѧ
      mŭnodzi bo ne vědętŭ čĭto jestŭ eresĭ ixŭ i mĭnętŭ ję za pravĭdǫ straždǫštę i xotęštę něčĭto vŭsprijęti blago otŭ boga za ǫzy i tĭmĭnicę
      Many people do not understand what this heresy represents; they think that these people are suffering in the interests of justice, and that they will receive some reward from God for the prisons and fetters they have suffered.
