Academic degree higher than that of Bachelor, conferred in medieval universities at a ceremony known as the "Inceptio," or beginning of actual teaching, whence originated the modern term "commencement." At the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, in England, the degree is purely honorary, obtainable by residence at the university for one year after taking the degree Bachelor of Arts.
