on the subject of Esq
Esquire (abbreviated Esq.) is a term of West European origin. In Britain and Ireland, it is a title of respect awarded to men of higher social rank. The word comes from Squire, which is an apprentice to a royal knight. The title "Esquire" has been used continuously since it was created in the distant European past and many uses continue uninterrupted today. In the United States, Esq. distinguishes licensed legal practitioners.
