The names "Probst" and "Propst" have similar meanings in Germanic languages. A "propst" is a lay administrator of a German Roman Catholic diocese or Lutheran synod. A "probst" is a lay administrator of a Swiss synod. The names sometimes refer to a "pryor" or an "abbot". The French term "prévot" and the English term "provost" derive from this same origin. All of those words come from the Latin word "praepositus". (Preposterous!)
