I seem to recall reading that after a 1156 decretal
allowing inquisitors to "absolve" each other,
actual involvement of inquisitors became more
common.

According to the following source (ANGELO CLARENO--13th century), the term
was "executioner." This source also confirms that it was not usual for
inquisitors or investigators to do the torturing themselves.
