Don't you think the very word "Magisterium" has a root meaning that belies an untoward ring of exhaltation, about it?

[Origin: 1490–1500; < L magisterium, equiv. to magister master + -ium -ium]

YEah. On the flip side “master” often means “Teacher” and that’s how I thought of it in this context. We called the teachers “masters” at my horrible prep school.
