What does "Daimadoshi" mean in "Dai no Daibouken" (Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai)?


One of my favorite character in _Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai_ is Pop
the Magician. Toward the end of the series, he battles with Hadler's chess
squad and has a one-on-one fight with the horse Sigma. Pop demonstrates great
magical skills and Sigma asked him if he is a sage. Pop answers that he
doesn't like the title of sage and had chosen a title for himself:
**Daimadoshi**.

**What does Daimadoshi mean in the universe of the manga?**

The manga obviously uses a lot of Japanese, even if it is set in a fantasy
universe. Does Daimadoshi mean anything in Japanese? Or is it a made-up for
the manga?

_Note_ : I hesitated before posting this question on Japanese.se, because I am
not sure whether daimadoshi is a Japanese word (or made up from Japanese terms
like Tenchimato) or a word from the manga's universe.




_Dai_ means something along the lines of "grand, big" and _madoushi_ means
"sorcerer" or "wizard", with _shi_ being his title (assumedly Mr.). So in
essence, he is naming himself "Mr. Grand Wizard"
