Who is a "messenger"?
A messenger is a person responsible for delivering messages, packages, or important documents from one place to another. Messengers are often used in situations where quick or reliable delivery is needed, such as in businesses, government offices, or personal communications. They may travel on foot, by bicycle, or using vehicles, depending on the distance and urgency of the delivery. Messengers have been important throughout history for maintaining communication, especially before the invention of modern postal and electronic systems.
