man of the cloth

man of the cloth
Человек духовного сана. До XVII в. различные гильдии и профессии различались по цвету материи, из которой была сшита одежда их представителей. Например, мясник был известен как man of the blue cloth («человек синей ткани»). К началу XIX в. эта традиция перестала существовать, сохранившись только по отношению к духовенству, поэтому упоминание цвета ткани стало лишним. Respect for the cloth — дань уважения к духовенству, священникам.
