discalced

adj.
Barefoot or wearing sandals. Used of certain religious orders.

[From Latin discalceātus : dis-, dis- + calceātus, shod (from calceus, shoe , from calx, calc-, heel).]

(kalst)

adjective
Wearing shoes.

Etymology
From Latin calceus (shoe)

The word calced is usually encountered in the names of certain religious orders, calced Carmelites, for example, who are allowed to wear shoes, as opposed to those who aren't: the discalced.
The word calzone for the turnover made of pizza dough is derived (via Italian) from the same Latin root calceus (shoe).

Usage
"While also following a routine of prayer and meditation, nuns in calced orders usually enjoyed a far more comfortable life." — Susan Migden Socolow; The Women of Colonial Latin America; Cambridge University Press; 2000.
