Webster (American) says:

Main Entry: professor
Pronunciation: pr&-'fe-s&r
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
1 : one that professes , avows, or declares
2 a : a faculty member of the highest academic rank at an institution of
higher education b : a teacher at a university, college, or sometimes
secondary school c : one that teaches or professes special knowledge of an
art, sport, or occupation requiring skill

I would imagine the 14th Century implies it traveled from England pretty
much unchanged.
