English to afrikaans meaning of

inquisitor

Volgens die Oxford English Dictionary is 'n inkwisiteur "'n persoon wat 'n navraag doen, veral een wat as buitensporig hardhandig of soekend beskou word." In moderne gebruik verwys die term dikwels na iemand wat ander aggressief bevraagteken of ondersoek, dikwels met die doel om oortredings te ontbloot of inligting te onttrek. Dit kan ook verwys na 'n amptenaar wat deur 'n regering of godsdiensorganisasie aangestel is om dwaalleer of ander oortredings teen die gevestigde orde te ondersoek en te straf.
