Portuguese term or phrase: cathedratic (cathedraic) professor
Could someone explain what this is in English? This is a professorial rank (title) from a Portuguese university, now not in existence anymore. But I think it is a denomination of a professor (referring to distinction or perhaps a chair of department).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

O termo, de origem européia e adotado no Brasil caiu em desuso em 1968. Professor catedrático é o professor que tem a cátedra de uma disciplina universitária e orienta os outros professores universitários sobre a mesma. Nem todo professor universitário era professor catedrático, nomeado por concurso.

"A partir do sistema focalizado no professor foi
criado o conceito de Professor Catedrático, noção essa
que prevaleceu nas universidades brasileiras até a
reforma de 1968. O Professor Catedrático era responsável por uma área específica de conhecimento e
assistentes e associados trabalhavam sob sua direção
personalista e autocrática."

No Brasil, o título de professor catedrático só se aplicava às universidades federais e estaduais (não às universidades privadas).
