Forms: Middle English premate, Middle English primite, Middle English prymat, Middle English prymet, Middle English–1500s prymate, Middle English–1700s primat, Middle English– primate; Scottish pre-1700 primait, pre-1700 primat, pre-1700 primatt, pre-1700 1700s– primate.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French primat; Latin prīmāt-, prīmās.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French primat (French primat ) chief bishop or archbishop of an ecclesiastical province (c1155), in Anglo-Norman also leader (second half of the 13th cent. or earlier), person who is first in rank or importance (first half of the 14th cent. or earlier) and its etymon classical Latin prīmāt-, prīmās (adjective) of the first rank, chief, excellent (2nd cent. a.d. in Apuleius), in post-classical Latin also as noun, denoting a chief, leader, superior (4th cent. with reference to public life), chief bishop (4th cent.) < prīmus prime adj. + -ās , suffix forming adjectives. Sense A. 2 is apparently not paralleled in the Romance languages. In sense A. 3 after scientific Latin Primates, order name (see Primates n.); compare French primates, plural noun (1823 or earlier; 1793 as †primats, plural noun, in a translation of Linnaeus).With sense A. 1a compare the following post-classical Latin examples in British sources: primas totius Anglie (frequently c1125–1535), primas totius Britannie (c1072, c1250), both denoting the Archbishop of Canterbury, primas Anglie Archbishop of York (1267, 1356), primas Hibernie Archbishop of Dublin (1265), primas totius regni Scotie Archbishop of St Andrews (1536). The post-classical Latin word was also borrowed into other Romance and Germanic languages; compare Spanish primado (first half of the 13th cent. or earlier), Portuguese primado (13th cent.), Italian primate (13th cent.), and also Middle Dutch primaet (Dutch primaat ), Middle Low German prīmās , Middle High German primāten , plural (German Primas , (in sense A. 3) Primat), Old Swedish primatom, dative plural (Swedish primas, primat).

A. n.¹
