What does VICAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
In the Church of England, a member of the clergy responsible for a parish; more generally, a person who acts or performs a duty on behalf of another.
A vicar in everyday British usage is the priest in charge of a local Church of England parish, conducting services, weddings and funerals and generally serving as its spiritual leader. The title comes from an older distinction, where a vicar acted as a substitute for a rector who held the parish's income directly, though today the two titles mostly describe the same kind of parish role. Outside the Church of England, vicar keeps its older, broader sense of someone acting in place of another with delegated authority, as in the Roman Catholic title vicar general, or the phrase vicar of Christ used for the Pope. The everyday parish sense remains by far the most familiar use of the word in Britain.
How VICAR is used
Common in British English for the parish priest of the Church of England; the broader sense of a deputy or representative survives mainly in formal religious titles.
- The vicar welcomed the couple before the wedding service began.
