custodian
意味: A person entrusted with the care, protection, or guardianship of something valuable, whether a building, collection, tradition, or set of standards.
Custodian implies a duty of care and stewardship rather than ownership. It is used in legal contexts (custodian of a child), institutional settings (custodian of public records), and figuratively to describe anyone who preserves or safeguards something of cultural or moral significance. In British English, it can also refer to a caretaker or keeper of a building.
