envoyn.²

Brit.

/ˈɛnvɔɪ/, U.S.

/ˈɛnˌvɔɪ/,

/ˈɑnˌvɔɪ/

Forms: (1600s envoyé, envoyée), envoy(e, 1600s– envoy.

Etymology: apparently an alteration (in the latter part of 17th cent.) of French envoyé (past participle of envoyer to send), which had previously been adopted unchanged.

1. A public minister sent by one sovereign or government to another for the transaction of diplomatic business. Now applied esp. to diplomatic ministers of the second rank (‘ministers plenipotentiary’) as distinguished from those of the highest rank (‘ambassadors’), and those of the third rank (‘chargés d'affaires’).The term envoy extraordinary, formerly denoting a minister charged with a special or temporary mission, is now merely the fuller designation of the ‘envoy’ in the narrower sense = minister plenipotentiary.
