a title prefixed by courtesy to the name of any clergyman, though "clerk "(clericus) is the legal and strictly proper description of clergymen, and is, in official documents, placed after (as "Reverend" is before) their names.

In some churches ordained abbesses and prioresses are called "reverend mothers."
