单词 | to take orders |
释义 | > as lemmasto take orders b. The rank, status, or position of a member of the clergy or ordained minister of the Church. Now always in plural (frequently as holy orders). to take orders: to enter the ministry of the Church, to be ordained. in (holy) orders: in the position of an ordained member of the clergy or minister of the Church; so in deacon's orders, in priest's (also full) orders.This has some affinities with sense 6 (see quot. 1597). But the plural form in holy orders, etc., evidently refers to the different orders within the ministry, rather than to the ministerial or clerical order as a class or body of men.
