==Other== The term ''officer'' is close to being a synonym (but has more military [[connotation]]s). A '''functionary''' is someone who carries out a particular role within an organization; this again is quite a close synonym for official, as a [[noun]], but with connotations closer to [[bureaucrat]]. Any such person acts in their '''official capacity''', in carrying out the duties of their office; they are also said to '''officiate''', for example, in a [[ceremony]]. A '''public official''' is an official of central or local [[government]].
