Definition
Relating to or belonging to a diocese, the geographic area under a bishop's authority in the Christian church.
Etymology
From Medieval Latin 'diocesanus,' derived from 'diocesis' (diocese), from Greek 'diokesis' meaning administration or district, attested from the 4th century CE.
Kelly Says
The word 'diocese' comes from ancient Greek administrative language—the early Christians borrowed a word meaning 'administrative district' from the Roman government structure and repurposed it for church organization, showing how institutions recycle vocabulary when they form.
