related to écuyer 'squire') is an officer of honour. Historically, it

person of rank. In contemporary use, it is a personal attendant,
usually upon a sovereign, a member of a royal family, or a national
representative. The role is equivalent to an aide-de-camp, but the
term is now prevalent only in the Commonwealth of Nations.Australian
