'''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.
