"Priester" meaning in German

See Priester in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈpriːstər/, [ˈpʁiːstɐ] Audio: De-Priester.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German priester, from Old High German priester, borrowed around 700 (after the High German consonant shift, but before the diphthongisation of West Germanic ē) from pre-Old French prestre, from Latin presbyter, from Ancient Greek πρεσβύτερος (presbúteros). Doublet of Presbyter. Immediately cognate with Dutch priester, Low German Preester, French prêtre. Compare also English priest. An earlier West Germanic word for “priest” is Pfaffe, which remained in use alongside Priester during the Middle Ages, but has had a pejorative tone since the Reformation.

  "etymology_text": "From Middle High German priester, from Old High German priester, borrowed around 700 (after the High German consonant shift, but before the diphthongisation of West Germanic ē) from pre-Old French prestre, from Latin presbyter, from Ancient Greek πρεσβύτερος (presbúteros). Doublet of Presbyter. Immediately cognate with Dutch priester, Low German Preester, French prêtre. Compare also English priest. An earlier West Germanic word for “priest” is Pfaffe, which remained in use alongside Priester during the Middle Ages, but has had a pejorative tone since the Reformation.",
