Two senses share the root and context always sorts them out: the diplomat who looks after their country's nationals abroad, and the Roman magistrate of the history books. The building follows the usual pattern with --, giving o for a consulate.
The word skews formal and administrative, so it shows up in travel accounts and official correspondence rather than in conversation. Do not confuse it with , to advise, which is an unrelated root despite the family resemblance.
