Main Entry: pri·mate Pronunciation: 'prI-"mAt or especially for 1 -m&t Function: noun Etymology: Middle English primat, from Anglo-French, from Medieval Latin primat-, primas archbishop, from Latin, leader, from primus 1 often capitalized : a bishop who has precedence in a province, a group of provinces, or a nation 2 archaic : one first in authority or rank : LEADER 3 [New Latin Primates, from Latin, plural of primat-, primas] : any of an order (Primates) of mammals that are characterized especially by advanced development of binocular vision, specialization of the appendages for grasping, and enlargement of the cerebral hemispheres and that include humans, apes, monkeys, and related forms (as lemurs and tarsiers) Monkey is the 3rd and last meaning of the word. It is just the way we hear it most often used. |
"Primate" in the title of someone from Kenya named "Nzimbi"?  |
Well, we're all primates too, you know. Humans are primates. |
Thank you Mr. Wizard. Only illustrating the irony of the circumstances. |
I don't see anything really ironic about it... is there some sort of "Nzimbi monkey" species or something I'm not aware of? Unless you're just saying that it's "ironic" that an African man has a title that is similar to a term that, in general modern language, relates to monkeys and apes. In which case, that's not irony at all... that's something else entirely. |
