emeriti
Retired with honors
Emeriti is the plural of emeritus, the Latin adjective attached to academic titles to honor retired professors who retain their rank: Three professors emeriti attended the ceremony.
The word follows Latin grammar, where emeriti is masculine plural and emeritae feminine plural, though emeriti now serves as the general plural regardless of gender.
