Vicar

A vicar (; Latin: vicarius) is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, vicar is cognate with the English prefix "vice," similarly meaning "deputy." The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire a local representative of the emperor, perhaps an archduke, might be styled "vicar."

Vícar is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.
