foster mother Explanation: This is how I often render it. But though diplomas are monotonously similar in phraseology from institution to institution, other renderings will be called for depending upon the immediate context. I have seen diplomas where 'nourishing' was a viable translation; elsewhere 'patroness' seemed better. |
