Answer

ABBOT

An abbot is the male superior of a monastery or abbey in various Christian traditions, particularly in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The word comes from the Aramaic word 'abba' meaning father, reflecting the paternal role this leader plays in the monastic community. Famous abbots throughout history have been influential religious figures and scholars.
