Meaning & usage
bishop (male or of unspecified gender)
Where this word comes from
From Middle High German bischof, from Old High German biscof, from Proto-West Germanic *biskop, from Latin episcopus. The -f- is due to the High German consonant shift, but in Middle High German it irregularly developed into -v- (thus predominantly bischoves rather than bischoffes), which explains the (variably) lengthened vowel. This development has been ascribed to renewed Romance influence; compare Italian vescovo.
