Etymology

() Latin hieraticus Ancient Greek ἱερατικός (hieratikos) ἱερατεία (hierateia, “priesthood”) ἱερᾶτεύω (“be a priest”) ἱερεύς (hiereus, “priest”) ἱερός (hieros, “sacred”). * Use pertaining to the Egyptian writing system originates with the Greek phrase γράμματα ἱερατικά (grammata hieratika; literally "priestly writing"), which was first used by Saint Clement of Alexandria in the 2nd century AD, as at that time hieratic was used only for religious texts, as had been the case for the previous thousand years.
