consul

noun KOHN-sool Rare

Origin: From Latin consul (Roman magistrate).

Cónsul refers both to a government official who represents their country's interests in a foreign city (head of a consulate) and, historically, to one of the two chief magistrates of the Roman Republic. The written accent marks stress on the first syllable. The same form serves as feminine: la cónsul.
