'''Mercy''' (Middle [[English]], from Anglo-French ''merci'', from Medieval [[Latin]] ''merced-'', ''merces'', from Latin, "price paid, wages", from ''merc-'', ''merx'' "merchandise") can refer both to compassionate [[behavior]] on the part of those in [[power]] (e.g. mercy shown by a judge toward a convict) or on the part of a humanitarian third party (e.g. a mission of mercy aiming to treat war victims). Mercy is a word used to describe compassion shown by one person to another, or a request from one person to another to be shown such leniency or unwarranted compassion for a crime or wrongdoing.

To be "mercy", the behavior generally can not be compelled by outside forces.  (A famous literary example is from ''The Merchant of Venice'' when Portia asks Shylock to show mercy. He asks, ''On what compulsion, must I?''  She responds ''The [[quality]] of mercy is not strained''.)
