coun se lor |ˈkouns (ə )lər ˈkaʊnsələr |(also chiefly Brit. counsellor ) ▶noun 1 a person trained to give guidance on personal, social, or psychological problems: a marriage counselor. • [ often with adj. ] a person who gives advice on a specified subject: a debt counselor. 2 a person who supervises children at a camp. 3 a trial lawyer. 4 a senior officer in the diplomatic service. ORIGIN Middle English (in the general sense ‘adviser ’): from Old French conseiller, from Latin consiliarius, and Old French conseillour, from Latin consiliator, both from consilium ‘consultation or advice. ’ usage: A counselor is someone who gives advice or counsel, especially an attorney. A councilor is a member of a council, such as a town or city council. Confusion arises because many counselors sit on councils, and councilors are often called on to give counsel.
