There is no place in the English bible where the word is used, so why do you care what it used to mean in Latin? It doesn’t mean that in English. It means “highly respected”. That is what we hold people to. The meaning of a word for us if that is the word they are using.

Oh this is rich....now we allow people to redefine words at will???

Well this is a hallmark of Catholicism.

Best advice....stay with the Greek and Hebrew and you don't go down these rabbit holes.

I am not a Roman Catholic.

What does it matter a word’s meaning in Greek or Latin if the word is not in the Bible?

We don’t speak Greek or Latin. We speak English. An English word has its English meaning. There might be some etymological interest in how a word has come from one language to another, but it has no bearing on what that word now means in the language in which it is used.
