单词 adjutator
释义

adjutatorn.

Brit. /ˈadʒᵿteɪtə/, U.S. /ˈædʒəˌteɪdər/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin adiūtāt- , adiūtāre , -or suffix.
Etymology: < classical Latin adiūtāt-, past participial stem of adiūtāre to help, assist (see adjutant adj.) + -or suffix, probably originally as alteration of agitator n. (compare agitant n. 1). Compare post-classical Latin adiutator (6th cent.). Compare earlier adjutor n.1 (especially quot. 1642 at that entry), and (with the later use in the general sense ‘helper, assistant’) later coadjutator n.
Now chiefly historical.
A person empowered to act on behalf of others; spec. each of the delegates chosen to represent the private soldiers of some units of the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War, initially at the Army Council of June 1647 (cf. agitator n. 2). Later also (occasionally) more generally: a helper, an assistant.
