squire
Armor-bearer in training
A squire was historically a young nobleman serving a knight, training for knighthood himself.
The term later came to mean a country gentleman or landowner, especially in rural England: the village squire.
As a form of address, squire is informal and slightly old-fashioned, used between men: What can I get you, squire?
To squire someone is to escort them, especially a woman to a social event.
