emissary
意味: A person sent on a special mission as a representative or agent, often in secret or on a sensitive diplomatic errand.
Emissary carries stronger connotations of secrecy and intrigue than envoy or delegate. It suggests a mission that may involve confidential negotiations, intelligence gathering, or delicate political manoeuvring. The term is common in historical, diplomatic, and espionage contexts. It collocates with 'secret emissary', 'papal emissary', and 'the king's emissary'.
