laity
In religious organizations, the laity consists of all members who are not a part of the clergy, whether they are or are not members of religious institutes, e.g. a nun or lay brother.〔(Laity ) at the Catholic Encyclopedia〕
In Christian cultures, the term ''lay priest'' is sometimes used in the past to refer to a secular priest, a diocesan priest who is not a member of a religious institute. Terms such as ''lay priest'', ''lay clergy'' and ''lay nun'' were also once used in Buddhist cultures to indicate ordained persons who continued to live in the wider community instead of retiring to a monastery.
In the context of specialized professions, the term ''lay'' is often used to refer to those who are not members of that profession.
The word ''lay'' derives from the Anglo-French ''lai'' (from Late Latin ''laicus'', from the Greek ''λαϊκός, laikos'', of the people, from ''λαός, laos'', the people at large).
