Usage notes
Following the Christianization of Early Slavs, in many languages the reflexes of *otьcь became calques of Byzantine Greek παπᾶς (papâs, “spiritual father”), Latin pāpa (“id.”) (whence Proto-Slavic *popъ (“priest”)) and are used as an appellation to ecclesiastical figures (priests, clerics, bishops, etc.).
Alternative forms
- *otьkъ (prior to third palatalization, attested in Northern Russian dialects)
