What does BURSAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
An official responsible for managing the finances of a college, school, or monastery.
A bursar handles budgets, fees, and payroll rather than teaching or research, standing between the students and the wider running of the institution. The office is old: monasteries kept a bursar to guard money and supplies long before it became a standard post in schools and universities. In some colleges the same word once also named a student who received a stipend or bursary, though the financial-officer sense is now by far the more common one.
