Cantoral

/kænˈtɔːrəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to a cantor or to the office and duties of a cantor in a church or synagogue.

Etymology

From cantor (a church singer/leader) plus -al (adjective-forming suffix), from Latin 'cantor' (singer), derived from 'cantare' (to sing).

Kelly Says

Cantoral duties are surprisingly complex—cantors don't just sing, they're musical directors, teachers, and guardians of centuries-old liturgical traditions!
