名词 n.
  1. A squire who is also the local rector.
    — For centuries it was the custom for younger sons of the landed classes to become clergymen - and often to take over the parish - or parishes - on the family estate. It was not uncommon for such parsons to inherit the estate on the death of an older brother and so come to combine the role of squire and parson - a squarson, as they came to be called.
