VerbarFilioque
n.
The Latin for, “and from the Son,” equivalent to et filio , inserted by the third council of Toledo ( a. d. 589) in the clause qui ex Patre procedit (who proceedeth from the Father) of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed ( a. d. 381), which makes a creed state that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Son as well as from the Father. Hence, the doctrine itself (not admitted by the Eastern Church).
