Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from French père (“father”), from Latin pater. Doublet of ayr, faeder, father, padre, and pater.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
père (plural pères)
- A priest of the Roman Catholic Church, especially a French one. Also used as a title preceding the name of such a priest.
- Sr. - Used after a proper name that is common to a father and his son to indicate that the father is being referred to rather than the son (junior, fils).
Usage notes[edit]
- Current usage of differentiating fathers and sons is borrowed from French; hence this term follows the name as it does in French grammar.
