The word diplomat refers to an ambassador or an envoy who is appointed to represent his state or country for maintaining foreign relations with other governments. A diplomat is usually known for his people-skills and usage of tact in communicating with people. After all, a diplomat is answerable to his country for safeguarding the integrity, culture and peace. At the same time, a diplomat has to ensure that the trade, cultural and political interest of the other country is not harmed; so he has to exercise assertiveness. A diplomat can also refer to a person who prefers to conduct in such a manner that he or she does not get into arguments or conflicts.

The word comes from the French word "diplomate" which in turn was a variation of the word "diplomatique" in French. Diplomatique referred to a delegation of people in France who were appointed to negotiate with foreign nations and states. Incidentally, diplomat also refers to a game of cards or solitaire which is played with the help of two decks of cards shuffled collectively.
