Their verbage, however, a quick google search says it is a professional who provides professional or expert advice in a particular area.
My grandpa once told me that an expert is a coonass with a briefcase - 50 miles from home.
From Entrepreneur Magazine: LINK
"A consultant's job is to consult. Nothing more, nothing less. It's that simple. There's no magic formula or secret that makes one consultant more successful than another one."
"But what separates a good consultant from a bad consultant is a passion and drive for excellence. And--oh yes--a good consultant should be knowledgeable about the subject he or she is consulting in. That does make a difference."

Your grandpa was pretty smart, I once got a call from a manager at a company I worked for who asked had I ever been to a particular companies facility, and did I know anyone there? My answer to both was no, and he said good you are now the "expert from out of town". The people already on the job knew what they were doing, it was just taking longer than expected, and they wanted the customer to see a new face. From that day on these trips were known as "being the guy from out of town".
