Emericrux

emericrux:

Emericrux, or crux, refers to headmates that have had a great (positive) impact on their system's structure and overall life in the past, but no longer hold a major role. In particular, their efforts have been recognized by those within the system and/or even by outsiders, and they are still well-respected.

History
The term derives from the words crux (the decisive or most important point at issue), and emeritus (of a former holder of an office; having retired but allowed to retain their title as an honour), symbolizing the deep and/or personal impact that affected the overall core of the structure/system, as well as their retirement from their position yet still perceived as a significant figure within the system and/or outsiders.

Related Terms
Emericrux members may be consulted on issues or decisions, or may be somewhat involved in an internal government as an advisor. They may also be fully roleless.

A retired host that has purposely stepped down may be an example of an emericrux.
