• Guest-master — A monk or individual officially designated in an Orthodox monastery (especially following the Mount Athos model) who fulfills the duties of a host, bearing the structural responsibility to receive pilgrims and guests, assign accommodation cells, and arrange meals under Christian hospitality. This monastic obedience is essential for the smooth interaction between the secluded community and the outside world.
• Boyar lady — The wife of an archon or a high-ranking boyar; an archaic term used in the Romanian principalities to designate a woman from the high nobility, who enjoyed a privileged social status and community respect due to her husband's rank.
• Archondarion — An independent building, block of cells, or structural wing designated within an Orthodox monastery, exclusively intended for the lodging, rest, and reception of pilgrims and visitors. This space includes bedrooms, an administrative reception room, and often its own small dining hall, operating as a free hospitality hub integrated into the monastic complex.
• Monastery guest house — A phonetic and regional variant of arhondărie; a building, wing, or block of houses located within an Orthodox monastery or a boyar residence, specially arranged for the lodging, rest, and free hospitality of pilgrims and distinguished guests. This space symbolizes traditional monastic hospitality and is managed directly by an archondar or archontar.
