Nah, it's only the idiots who take the modern meaning in Modern English and use it to reference a translation of presbuteros into priest and twist it to being a translation from hierus

here's something from www.dictionary.com for ya

Origin: before 900; Middle English prest ( e ), priest, Old English prēost, ultimately < Late Latin presbyter presbyter

And from the Oxford dictionary: Old English prēost, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch priester, German Priester, based on ecclesiastical Latin presbyter 'elder' (see presbyter)
