prolocutorn.

Brit. /prəʊˈlɒkjᵿtə/, U.S. /proʊˈlɑkjədər/
Forms: late Middle English– prolocutor, 1500s proloqutour, 1500s–1600s prolocutour, 1500s–1600s proloquutor; Scottish pre-1700 prolocquitor, pre-1700 prolocutour, pre-1700 prolocuttor, pre-1700 prolocutur, pre-1700 proloquitor, pre-1700 proloquitour, pre-1700 proloqutor, pre-1700 proloquutor, pre-1700 prolucutour, pre-1700 1700s– prolocutor.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin prolocutor.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin prolocutor person who speaks beforehand, person who speaks a prologue (9th cent. or earlier), spokesman (11th cent.; frequently from 12th cent. in British sources), pleader, advocate (from 1203 in British sources), parliamentary speaker (frequently from c1400 in British sources) < classical Latin prōlocūt- , past participial stem of prōloquī prolocute v. + -or -or suffix. Compare Middle French, French prolocuteur (15th cent.).In post-classical Latin the word appears to interchange with praelocutor prelocutor n., and the sense seems to vary between ‘person who speaks for ’, and ‘person who speaks before or in precedence of others’. Compare the function of the ‘Speaker’ in the House of Commons (see speaker n. 3). N.E.D. (1908) also gives the pronunciation (prōu·lokiūtǫ̆ɹ) /ˈprəʊləʊkjuːtə(r)/ and for this stress pattern also gives the pronunciation of the first element as (prǫ·l-) /ˈprɒl/.
1. A person who speaks for another or others; a spokesperson.
