Final answer:

The word "cripple" was used in the Lindisfarne Gospel in the 8th century to honor God and St. Cuthbert.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "cripple" has been used in the Lindisfarne Gospel, which is a spectacular example of Insular or Hiberno-Saxon art produced in the British Isles between 500-900 CE. The Lindisfarne Gospels were created by Eadfrith, a bishop of Lindisfarne in the 8th century, to honor God and St. Cuthbert. This means that the word "cripple" was used in the Lindisfarne Gospel in the 8th century.
