I was making a comment about the semantics of "ex-professor".

Ex-professor conjures up he was fired, where as retired professor conjures up that he left on good terms. There's a Latin term for retired professors universities use that I can't think of right now.

Professor emeritus=e (or ex) -"out of"

meritus= "deserving of" or "ought to be"
