emeritus
Significado: A title given to a retired professor or senior academic who retains their title as an honour, indicating distinguished past service.
Emeritus (feminine: emerita, though emeritus is now commonly used for all genders) is placed after a title — 'Professor Emeritus' or 'Emeritus Professor.' It indicates that the person has retired from their primary position but retains the honorary title in recognition of their contributions. The status sometimes carries privileges such as office space, library access, or the right to supervise doctoral students. It is almost exclusively used in academic and ecclesiastical contexts.
