Etymology of MOST EMERITA

The term "emerita" refers to a woman who has retired or been relieved from professional duties or a particular position. It is the feminine form of "emeritus", which is the Latin word for "retired" or "honorary".

Over time, it started to be used in academia to refer to retired professors who had made significant contributions to their field.
