Definition
传道士 is a term for a Christian missionary or preacher, less commonly used than the standard 传教士. Note that the pinyin in the source data is truncated to 'chuán'—the correct pronunciation for the full word is chuán dào shì. Be careful: 道士 alone means 'Taoist priest', but in this compound it refers to a person who preaches religious teachings.
