dominie
Old-fashioned classroom leader
Dominie is an old-fashioned or regional term for a clergyman or schoolmaster.
The word comes from the Latin for "master" and survives mainly in Scottish usage and in American contexts influenced by Dutch colonial heritage: The dominie led the congregation in prayer.
It has a quaint, antiquated feel in modern speech.
