Lord

Prayer's opening address

Lord is a title of nobility in Britain, used before the name of peers, bishops, and certain officials: Lord Byron, Lord Chancellor.

It also serves as a form of address: Yes, my Lord.

In religious use, the Lord refers to God or Christ: Praise the Lord.

The exclamation Lord! or Good Lord! expresses surprise or dismay. (Lowercase lord is the general noun for someone with authority.)
