Definition
A person who helps a priest or minister during religious services, or more generally, a devoted follower or assistant.
Etymology
From Greek 'akolouthos' (follower, one who follows) via Latin and Old French, originally describing those who followed religious processions.
Kelly Says
Church acolytes light candles and ring bells during services, but the word has evolved to mean any zealous follower—like how tech billionaires attract their own acolytes who mimic their every move.
