Lat. A counsellor; one who is of, or in another's counsels; one whose office it is to give counsel. A term formerly applied, in ecclesiastical law, to an advocate or responsalis, who gave answers or counsel, on being consulted for that purpose. Spelman, voc. Apocrisiarius. The common professional phrase, "of counsel," seems to be derived from this source.
