What does LECTOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
A person who reads passages aloud during a religious service, especially in a Catholic Mass.
In many church traditions someone other than the priest is chosen to read scripture passages aloud to the congregation, and that reader is called a lector, a role that in the Catholic Church can be a formally recognised minor office. The same word is also used in some universities, especially in continental Europe, for a teacher who instructs students in their native language rather than holding a full professorship. Both uses trace back to the Latin verb meaning to read, which also gives English the word lecture.
