Esquire (English spelling)
|
Originally a knight's squire in feudal times. Meaning "shield-bearer". In late medieval England, it was a rank next to a knight, referring to those who held the land of a knight without being knighted, and then came to refer to landowners. Today, it is a title of respect given to the head of a family or when addressing a letter.
