| one submitting a request or application especially one seeking admission into a religious order

A postulant (from the Latin postulare, to ask) was originally one who makes a request or demand; hence, a candidate. The use of the term is now generally restricted to those asking for admission into a monastery or a convent, both before actual admission and for the length of time preceding their admission into the novitiate. |
