I was unfamiliar with this term being used to depict members of the board, so I looked it up. I don't like the "pervert" part, but "renegade", now that sounds pretty cool. apostate \A*pos"tate\, n. [L. apostata, Gr. ?, fr. ?. See Apostasy |
.] 1. One who has forsaken the faith, principles, or party, to which he before adhered; esp., one who has forsaken his religion for another; a pervert; a renegade.
2. (R. C. Ch.) One who, after having received sacred orders, renounces his clerical profession.
