Origin

1950s: from Swedish, 'legal representative'.

There are not many words in English that come directly from Swedish, but this is one of them. In the 1950s we adopted the Swedish word for ‘legal representative’ as a term for an official appointed to investigate individual complaints against companies or the government, though the British Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, as the office is formally known, dates from 1967.
