/lɑːf.wɑrd/

noun

  1. a person who has authority, control, or power over others by insuring their substance.
  2. a person who is a leader and oversees the continuation in a chosen profession.

from Old English hlafweard, literally "one who guards the loaves," from hlaf "bread, loaf" (see loaf (n.)) + weard "keeper, guardian" (from PIE root *wer- (3) "perceive, watch out for").
