Tutor
Tutor today as an English word means a private teacher, typically one who teaches a single student or a very small group.
From Middle English tutour, from Old French tuteur (French tuteur), from Latin tūtor (“a watcher, protector, guardian”), from tueor (“protect”)
Tutor[1]
See Father
Three fold process
The threefold process of abdication of the power and position as a natural father includes Novation[2], Tutor[1] and Korban[3] by the natural fathers and patriarchs of each household. The social bonds that bound the sons and daughters into the power of their father becomes transfected to another, the Patronus of the State.
It was even a part of Roman Law that a woman could do nothing sine auctore that is without a tutor[1] to give to her acts a complete legal character.[4]
Once you are registered as a child of the State there are many benefits and paths open to you. The state stands in the position of patron and supplies both tutor[1] and curator for the child. The patron never entirely releases the child to the status of sui juris as long as they depend upon the gracious benefits of the State.
tūtor m (genitive tūtōris, feminine tūtrīx); third declension
- watcher, protector, defender
- guardian (of minors)
- tutor
- Tutor derived his name a "tuendo" from protecting another (quasi Tuitor). His power and office were "Tutela," which is thus defined by Servius Sulpicius (Dig. 26 tit. 1 s1): "Tutela est vis ac potestas in capite libero ad tuendum eum qui propter aetatem suam (sua) sponte se defendere nequit jure civili data ac permissa." After the word "suam" it has been suggested by Rudorff that something like what follows has been omitted by the copyists: "eamve quae propter sexum," a conjecture which seems very probable. Tutela expresses both the status of the Tutor and that of the person who was In Tutela. The tutela of Impuberes was a kind of Potestas, according to the old law: that of Mulieres was merely a Jus.
