Audiencer

/ˈɔːdiənsər/ noun

Definition

A rare or obsolete term for an official who admits people to an audience or manages an audience's access.

Etymology

From audience plus -er (one who does something). Emerged in Middle English as a court or administrative position, now largely obsolete.

Kelly Says

Audiencer was a real job title where someone literally controlled who got to see the king—a reminder that 'access' is one of history's most valuable commodities and worth an entire job position.
