What does PRIMUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
The presiding bishop of the Scottish Episcopal Church, chosen from among the bishops to lead their meetings.
The Latin word means first, and the title reflects that the Primus is first among equals rather than a ruler over the other bishops. He chairs their gatherings but has none of the wider powers of an archbishop. Separately, a primus is also a portable camping stove that burns vaporized paraffin, named after the make that popularized it.
