diplomat |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A person professionally engaged in the craft of diplomacy (sense 1) as a member of a diplomatic service, whether any aptitude for the craft is displayed or not. A diplomat may therefore be either a diplomatic agent or an official at a foreign ministry. This is a worn-down version of the older word diplomatist, which Britain\'s Diplomatic Service finally abandoned when it realized that the Americans had done so.
The term is also used in general speech of a person who is demonstrably possessed of those abilities traditionally associated with diplomacy, such as tact and moderation. |
