Charterhouse (monastery)
A charterhouse (french: chartreuse; german: Kartause; it, certosa; pt, cartuxa; es, cartuja) is a monastery of Carthusian monks. The English word is derived by phono-semantic matching from the French word ''chartreuse'' and it is therefore sometimes misunderstood to indicate that the houses were created by charter, a grant of legal rights by a high authority. The actual namesake is instead the first monastery of the order, the Grande Chartreuse, which St Bruno of Cologne established in a valley of the Chartreuse Mountains in 1084. The London Charterhouse was the first English site to which this English version of the word was applied.
