| has gloss | deu: Sinekure bezeichnet ein Amt, mit dem Einkünfte, aber keine Amtspflichten verbunden sind. Ursprünglich im rein kirchlichen Bereich zu finden (Kirchenamt, Pfründe), fand es später auch im staatlichen Bereich Verwendung, z. B. Beamtenämter für verdiente Offiziere. Das Wort stammt aus dem Lateinischen sine cura animarum, was sinngemäß mit "ohne Sorge für die Seelen", d. h. ohne Verpflichtung als Seelsorger, übersetzt werden kann. |

| has gloss | ita: Sinecura è una parola di derivazione latina tramite la quale anticamente si definiva un beneficio ecclesiastico senza obbligo di uffizi e funzioni, che ha preso a designare qualsiasi ufficio e/o unoccupazione (anche secolari) ben remunerati ma che richiedevano un impegno ridotto o addirittura nessun impegno. Essi venivano di solito concessi in favore dei rampolli dellaristocrazia di sangue, che, dispensati dai compiti di rito, dalla cura danime e dallassistenza ai fedeli, venivano nominati vescovi di diocesi quasi fossero feudatari del re o del Papa. |
