A commissary is a government official charged with oversight. In many countries, commissary is used as a police title. It often corresponds to the command of a police station, which is then known as a "commissariat". In some armed forces, commissaries are officials charged with overseeing the purchase and delivery of supplies, and they have powers of administrative and financial oversight. In this case the "commissariat" is the organization associated with the corps of commissaries. In some countries both these roles are used, for example France uses "police commissaries" (''commissaires de police'') in the French National Police and "armed forces commissaries" (''commissaires des armées'') in the French armed forces. Commissary is ''commissaire'' in French, ''commissario'' in Italian, ''Kommissar'' in (standard) German, ''Kommissär'' in Swiss German and Luxembourgish, ''comisario'' in Spanish, ''commissaris'' in Dutch and Flemish, ''komisario'' in Finnish. ==Word history== The word is recorded in English since 1362, for "one to whom special duty is entrusted by a higher power". This Anglo-French word derives from Medieval Latin ''commissarius'', from Latin ''commissus'' (pp. of committere) "entrusted". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「commissary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
