Adjective

 * 1)  Retired, but retaining an honorific version of a previous title.

Usage notes

 * Until c. 1910–1920, both prepositive and postpositive usage was more or less equally common. Since then, more commonly postpositive (e.g., professor emeritus instead of emeritus professor).
 * With the rare plural form, the noun is not pluralized (e.g., professor emerituses, analyzed as professor emeritus + ). With , not pluralizing the noun (e.g., professor emeriti) is non-standard.
 * The masculine plural forms /&ZeroWidthSpace; may be used when referring to mixed (including both men and women) groups. Usage of the masculine emeritus/&ZeroWidthSpace;/&ZeroWidthSpace; instead of the feminine /&ZeroWidthSpace; when exclusively referring to a woman or women may be considered non-standard, but some use, e.g., the title professor emeritus gender-neutrally.
