Paraclete comes from the Koine Greek wor παράκλητος (paraklētos, "one who consoles, one who intercedes on our behalf, a comforter or an advocate"). It may reflect a translation of the Hebrew word מְנַחֵם (mənaḥḥēm "comforter"). According to Walter Bauer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature: "the technical meaning 'lawyer', 'attorney' is rare." The word appears a few times in the New Testament and, as a title for the Holy Spirit, is used in Christian Pneumatology and Trinitarian theology.
