Answer : Priest is a masculine word in the English language which means a person who is qualified and learned to lead the people of the Church.
The opposite gender of Priest is the Priestess, which is a feminine word in the English language.
The feminine word – Priestess was introduced in the 17th century, which referred to the female priests of the Pre-Christian religions of classical antiquity. Like their masculine counterparts, they have the right to administer religious rites and perform holy duties.
The word Priest or Priestess has been derived from the Old English Prèost or Presbyteros (Greek), which means “the Elder”.
