Council, counsel, and consul are never interchangeable as such, though their meanings are related.Council and councilor refer principally to a deliberative assembly (such as a city council or student council), its work, and its membership. Counsel and counselor pertain chiefly to advice and guidance in general and to a person (such as a lawyer or camp counselor) who provides it.Consul denotes an officer in the foreign service of a country.
