A more thorough explanation:

ABBOT

An abbot is a leader or governor of an abbey in the context of Ecclesiastical law. An abbey is a religious community of monks or nuns who live together and follow a particular set of rules.

For example, in medieval times, the abbot of a monastery was responsible for overseeing the daily activities of the monks, managing the abbey's finances, and ensuring that the monks followed the rules of their order.

Another example is the current abbot of a Buddhist monastery who is responsible for leading the community of monks and nuns, teaching Buddhist principles, and maintaining the monastery's spiritual and physical well-being.

These examples illustrate how an abbot is a leader who is responsible for the well-being of a religious community and ensuring that its members follow the rules and principles of their order.
