usher
Usage Note
Huissier has two distinct professional meanings: a huissier de justice is a court-appointed officer who serves legal documents, enforces judgements, and makes official records (constat d'huissier); an huissier alone in the context of a ministry or grand hall is a ceremonial usher. The distinction matters in legal contexts.
Examples
"L'huissier a remis la citation à comparaître."
Natural Translation
The bailiff delivered the summons.
