Meaning: "Bischofer" was derived from the medieval German word "Beischoeffe", a term for a person sitting in court, assisting the "Schoeffen", (jury memebers) by taking notes and possible drawings of the court procedure. Although it sounds similar, it has nothing to do with the German for "bishop".
