Link Jesuit with Jesus: a Jesuit belongs to the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic religious order. Picture a Jesuit priest or teacher working at a school, writing scholarly letters, or serving as a missionary. These associations match common contexts such as Jesuit education, a Jesuit college, and Jesuit missions. When the word identifies a member of the order, it is normally capitalized as Jesuit. Keep it distinct from the broader terms priest and monk, because not every priest or member of a religious community is a Jesuit.

jesuit の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 Iesus（イエス）に由来し、「イエスの仲間」を意味する。1534年にイグナチオ・デ・ロヨラが創設したイエズス会（Societas Iesu）の会員を指す。関連語: Jesus（イエス）、Jesuitism（詭弁術）。転じて「策略家」という否定的意味でも使われる。
Jesuit ultimately derives from the Latin name Iesus, “Jesus.” It became the name for a member of the Society of Jesus, Latin Societas Iesu, the Roman Catholic religious order associated with Ignatius of Loyola. The English form came through European usage based on Neo-Latin Jesuita. Its central historical meaning is membership in that order; later hostile or figurative uses developed separately and should not replace the neutral religious sense here.
