Senhor
''Senhor'' (, abb. ''Sr.''; plural: ''senhores'', abb. ''Sr.es'' or ''Srs.''), from the Latin ''Senior'' (comparative of '' Senex'', "old man"), is the Portuguese word for lord, sir or mister. Its feminine form is ''senhora'' (, abb. ''Sr.a'' or ''Sra.''; plural: ''senhoras'', abb. ''Sr.as'' or ''Sras.''). The term is related to Spanish ''señor'', Catalan ''senyor'', Occitan ''sénher'', French ''seigneur'', and Italian ''signore''. Originally it was only used to designate a feudal lord or sire, as well as being one of the names of God. With time its usage spread and, as means of differentiation, noble people began to use ''Senhor Dom X'' (as when referring to the kings or members of the high nobility), which translates literally in English as "The Lord, Lord X". In 1597, King Philip I issued a decree standardizing the noble styles in use in the Kingdom of Portugal. ''Sua Senhoria'' (translated as ''His Lordship'' or ''Her Ladyship'') was the prescribed manner of addre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lord
Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, chief, or ruler. The appellation can also denote certain persons who hold a title of the peerage in the United Kingdom, or are entitled to courtesy titles. The collective "Lords" can refer to a group or body of peers. Etymology According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, the etymology of the word can be traced back to the Old English word ''hlāford'' which originated from ''hlāfweard'' meaning "loaf-ward" or "bread-keeper", reflecting the Germanic tribal custom of a chieftain providing food for his followers. The appellation "lord" is primarily applied to men, while for women the appellation "lady" is used. This is no longer universal: the Lord of Mann, a title previously held by the Queen of the United Kingdom, and female Lords Mayor are examples of women who are styled as "Lord".

Don (; ; pt, Dom, links=no ; all from Latin ', roughly 'Lord'), abbreviated as D., is an honorific prefix primarily used in Spain and Hispanic America, and with different connotations also in Italy, Portugal and its former colonies, and Croatia.

Prior Of Crato
The Prior of Crato (''Prior do Crato''), was the traditional title given to the head of the Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (Hospitaller) in Portugal. It is a reference to the domains of the order around Crato, Portugal. The Portuguese branch of the Knights Hospitaller was originally based in the northern citadel of Leça do Balio (near Matosinhos), which was allegedly donated to the order as early as 1112 by Countess Theresa. Around 1232, King Sancho II of Portugal donated extensive domains further south, around Crato (in the Portalegre District) to the Knights Hospitaller, along with the duty to fortify that frontier. The order moved its headquarters from Leça to Crato in 1340, shortly after the Battle of Salado, constructing the Monastery of Flor da Rosa near Crato. From the outset in the 12th century, the head of the Order of Knights Hospitaller in Portugal was known simply as the ''Prior do Hospital''. That title continued to be used after the move to C ...

Professor
Professor (commonly abbreviated as Prof.) is an academic rank at universities and other post-secondary education and research institutions in most countries. Literally, ''professor'' derives from Latin as a "person who professes". Professors are usually experts in their field and teachers of the highest rank.

This usage would be considered incorrect among other academic communities. However, the otherwise unqualified title "Professor" designated with a capital letter nearly always refers to a full professo ...

''Informally'' the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task).
