Comprador
A comprador or compradore (English: ) is a "person who acts as an agent for foreign organizations engaged in investment, trade, or economic or political exploitation." An example of a comprador would be a native manager for a European business house in East and South East Asia, and, by extension, social groups that play broadly similar roles in other parts of the world. == Etymology and usage == The term comprador, a Portuguese word that means buyer, derives from the Latin comparare, which means to procure.
