What is presbyter in modern English?

In modern English, "presbyter" is most often used to refer to a minister or elder in a Presbyterian church.

However, it can also be used more broadly to describe:

* Any elder in a church, regardless of denomination, especially in a church with an elder-led structure.

* An ordained minister in some denominations, particularly those with a strong emphasis on presbyterian governance.

It's important to note that "presbyter" is less common in everyday English than "minister" or "elder," and it may be unfamiliar to many people.
