A person who looks for work for another person and brokers a deal between the hiree and hirer.

Having a good buyer’s agent also means having someone who is knowledgeable about the local real estate market and who has the skills and competence to negotiate with the seller’s agent on your behalf.

  • “just shipped a new elfmem animation. it's a video showing memory blocks arriving, being ranked and linked by an agent called alv. what got me excited: alv wrote the tool that made the animation. so this video is basically alv documenting its own memory system. pretty wild.”

One who exerts power, or has the power to act.

Seeing we are so wonderfully endowed with priceless gifts by our Heavenly Father, will he not require usury at our hands? He will. But he has made us agents to ourselves, which makes us responsible for the way in which we use the talents…
Origin: From , present active participle of to drive, lead, conduct, manage, perform, do. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
For parents

Agent means: One who exerts power, or has the power to act.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

agent means: One who exerts power, or has the power to act.. Register: neutral, standard English. Common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; always check the context before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
