  • Prelacy: prelates collectively
  • A prelate is a high-ranking member of the clergy who is an ordinary or who ranks in precedence with ordinaries. The word derives from the Latin pru00E6latus, the past participle of pru00E6ferre, which means "carry before", "be set above or over" or "prefer"; hence, a prelate is one set over others.
