Etymology 2[edit]

Clipping of قِسِّيس (qissīs), from Classical Syriac ܩܫܝܫܐ (qašīšā, “priest”).

Noun[edit]

قَسّ or قِسّ • (qass or qiss) m (plural قُسُوس (qusūs) or قُسُس (qusus))

  1. (Christianity) clergyman; priest; pastor, minister
    دَرَجَاتُ الْقِسِّيسِيَّةِ عِنْدَ الْمَلْكَانِيَّةِ وَالْيَعَاقِبَةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ: أُسْقُفٌ، وَقِسٌّ، وَشَمَّاسٌ.
    darajātu l-qissīsiyyati ʕinda l-malkāniyyati wālyaʕāqibati ṯalāṯatun: ʔusqufun, waqissun, wašammāsun.
    The orders of the priesthood in the Eastern and Oriental Churches are three: bishop, priest, and deacon.
    شَاهَدْتُ خُطْبَةً لِقِسٍّ أَمْرِيكِيٍّ.
    šāhadtu ḵuṭbatan liqissin ʔamrīkiyyin.
    I watched a sermon by an American pastor.

Usage notes[edit]

The word is a synonym of كَاهِن (kāhin, “priest”) in Arabic episcopal Christianity. In congregationalist Christianity, قِسّ (qiss) corresponds to several Protestant titles, like "pastor" or "minister," while كَاهِن (kāhin, “priest”) is not used, since these denominations have no priesthood.
