the.com/ambassador
a professional truth-bender whose lies are legally protected and diplomatically required.

This traveled through Old French *ambassadeur* and Italian *ambasciatore* before settling into English, the whole journey carrying the sense of someone sent on another's business: not acting for themselves, but speaking with a borrowed voice.
