Best Answer

That's two words: Dominican friar.

"Dominican" refers to Saint Dominic, who was born in Spain in 1170. He was an important figure in returning heretic French Albigensians to the Church of Rome using only reason and Christian teachings. Later he established the Order of Dominican friars to spread his teachings throughout Europe.

Friars were the opposite of monks. Monks lived apart from society, secluded and cloistered within a monastery and cut off from ordinary life.

Friars lived in a friary but worked on the streets, preaching and teaching, taking care of the poor and the sick, distributing food and clothes - but they also had to beg for food for themselves (meaning they were a "mendicant order").
