Thesaurer is an obsolete Scots term for a treasurer — a person responsible for the custody and management of funds, typically in an official or institutional capacity. The word survives only in historical records and would be encountered in documents relating to Scottish municipal or ecclesiastical administration from the medieval and early modern periods. It is of direct etymological interest as it preserves the older French-derived form before the modern 'treasurer' became standard. No practical use in modern English.
