At first it was employed as a respectful title for any monk, but it was soon restricted by canon law to certain priestly superiors. At times it was applied to various priests, e.g. at the court of the Frankish monarchy the Abbas palatinus ('of the palace') and Abbas castrensis ('of the camp') were chaplains to the Merovingian and Carolingian sovereigns' court and army respectively. The title "abbot" came into fairly general use in western monastic orders whose members include priests. An abbot (from the Hebrew ab, "a father," through the Syriac abba, Latin abbas (genitive form, abbatis), Old English abbad; German Abt; French abbe) is the head and chief governor of a community of monks, called also in the East hegumenos or archimandrite.
