oblate. In the early Middle Ages the term was applied especially to children dedicated to a monastery by their parents and placed there to be brought up. Later it was widely used of laity who lived at a monastery or in close connection with it, but who did not take full religious vows. It has been adopted in the title of some religious communities in the RC Church.
