What does Sir mean?
/sɝ/1 syllable

Sir is an English title of respect used to address a man of higher rank or standing, historically granted to knights and now used more broadly as a mark of courtesy. It traces through Old French sire back to the Latin senior, meaning 'elder.'

Sir gives a pet instant dignity — a tongue-in-cheek nod to a companion who carries themselves like royalty.
