ENVOY
What envoy means
A representative or messenger sent on a special mission, typically by a government or official body to conduct negotiations or deliver important communications.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *envoyé*, the past participle of *envoyer* (to send). The Old French verb comes from *en-* (in, into) plus *voie* (way, journey), itself from Latin *via* (road). So an envoy is literally someone "sent on the way"—a messenger dispatched to deliver a message or conduct diplomacy.
