From Old French paraclit, from Late Latin paraclētus, from Ancient Greek παράκλητος (paráklētos, “one called to help, helper; comforter; protector, defender; (legal) advocate”), from παρά (pará, “beside”) + κλητός (klētós, “called, invited [one]”). The Greek term is used four times in the Gospel of John as an epithet of the Holy Spirit.

See Paraclete.
