What does “sacerd” mean?
.
Just as "priest/preost" was the Old English word (derived from the Latin presbyter) meaning presbuteros, "sacerd" was derived from the Latin sacerdos and means hiereus. As an example, from the Wessex Gospel of Luke from the 10th century:
1:5 On Herodes dagum, Iudéa cyniges, wæs sum sacerd on naman Zacharias, of Abian túne: his wíf wæs of Aárones dohtrum, and hyre nama wæs Elizabeth.English originally had two district words for presbuteros and hiereus: "priest/preost" and "sacerd." Contrary to the claims of Protestant apologists, Rome did not malevolently mistranslate presbuteros by using the word for hiereus for presbuteros. Rather, in a natural process of linguistic development sacerd dropped out of English usage. It was the English commons, not Rome, than then started to us "priest" for hiereus.In the days of Herod, King of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah of the priestly division of Abijah; his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
