štitonoša

1. (medieval) squire; shield-bearer
   Vitez je sa svojim štitonošom krenuo u boj. — The knight set off into battle with his squire.
2. derog. (of a person) sidekick; henchman
   Direktor je došao sa svojim vernim štitonošom. — The director came with his loyal sidekick.

Declines like nouns in -a, but singular modifiers agree in the masculine: verni štitonoša (in the plural: verne štitonoše).
