A quick definition of disme:
A disme is a tenth part of something, like a tithe that was once paid to the clergy. It is also the old spelling of the American 10-cent piece, the dime. Plural form is dismes.
Decimae is a Latin word that means "tenth." In Ecclesiastical law, it refers to the tenth part of the annual profits of a benefice originally payable to the Pope, and later to the Crown. It can also mean tithes paid to the church, often in grain or wool.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A disme is a tithe or a tenth part of something, such as the annual profits of a benefice or spiritual livings. It was once the spelling of the American 10-cent piece, the dime.
