Morphology
ordinariate = ordinary (opaque) = ordinary + ate
The word denotes a specialized church jurisdiction derived from the ecclesiastical sense of 'ordinary' plus the suffix '-ate', a meaning not predictable from the common meaning 'ordinary' by typical learners.
Etymology
Ordinariate comes from the Latin root ordo meaning 'order' and is related to the English word ordinary, which in church use is the official who keeps things in order. So an ordinariate is the district or office under that official's authority, the part of the church that looks after order.
