👉 Tutor (education) in the context of University don

A don is an academic, particularly in British English. The term is particularly applied to fellows and tutors of colleges at traditional collegiate universities but is also used more generally for teaching staff at universities and colleges. The usage is also found in Canada and in rare instances in the United States.

Like the term don used for Roman Catholic priests, the term don derives from the Latin dominus, meaning "lord", and is a historical remnant of Oxford and Cambridge having started as ecclesiastical institutions in the Middle Ages.
