Father (pedantic) (5)

I believe the answer is:

pater

(Other definitions for pater that I've seen before include "A posh father, from Latin" , "Old man" , "Taper away like father" , "Our Father - . . . . . Noster" , "Walter --, English essayist; father" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
