Known in Latin as magisterium, determined by the suffix -ium, attributing action and result, incorporated to the word magister, which refers to master, being interpreted as the authority or position of greater influence as a director who guides the way, linked to the adverb magis, being interpreted as more, with reference in the Indo-European *meg-, for greater. It is considered to be the highest role that an individual can hold and carry out based on the knowledge acquired, wielding itself as a figure entirely opposite to the minister, visible in Latin as minister from the adverb minus, for less, whose origin included servants or subordinates of ancient Rome, to later evolve towards the idea of dedicating their lives to God (documenting the duty and role of the father in 1300), as well as to a cause or to society as a whole.

In ancient times, when Aristotle was quoted, it was concluded with the phrase “magister dixit”, which translates to “said the master”. On a religious level, about the teachings given in the Roman Catholic Church, it is established as such in the middle of the 19th century, during the period of Pope Pius IX.
