docent Visitors to Istanbul's great Topkapi Museum often decide they need to hire an English-speaking docent. ˈdoʊsənt

Accepted Answer

(1) Teacher, lecturer. (2) A person who leads guided tours, especially through a museum. The title of docent is used in many countries for what Americans would call an associate professor—that is, a college or university teacher who has been given tenure (see tenure) but hasn't yet achieved the rank of full professor. But in the U.S. a docent is a guide who works at a museum, a historical site, or even a zoo or a park. Docents are usually volunteers, and their services are often free of charge.
