Something
people don’t always realise on the origin of the English word, “priest”:
Word Origin “priest”
Old English prēost, of Germanic
origin; related to Dutch priester, German Priester, based on
ecclesiastical Latin presbyter ‘elder’, from Greek presbuteros ‘elder’ (used
in the New Testament to denote an elder of the early church), comparative of presbus ‘old (man)’.
