magister
Scholar with authority
Magister is a Latin term meaning master or teacher, used historically as an academic title in European universities.
It survives in English primarily in formal or historical contexts, particularly in phrases like magister artium (master of arts).
In some European countries, magister remains an academic degree roughly equivalent to a master's degree.
The word also appears in ecclesiastical contexts, where it may designate someone with teaching authority within the church.
