There are two meanings. The first one is the synonym of франкмасон, which is why I am suggesting the second one.

Explanation:

Іронічно-лайливе, на кшталт нігіліст, "біла ворона", вільнодумець-радикал, ЛАНЕЦЬ...


Якщо вже Ви запитуєте все підряд, буквально кожне слово за словом, то варто було відразу "огласить весь список" -- запитувати, наприклад, "бонвіван, франкмасон, фармазон", тому що взяті окремо переклади окремих висмикнутих слів не мають жодного сенсу.

Якщо їх попередньо не узгоджено один з одним в характеристиці конкретної людини, окремі переклади й не зазвучать разом, коли поставите їх докупи.

neutral  Inna Edsall: I think that the Asker is simply trying to get different ideas about the terms in question. Ultimately, she will make the final decision regarding which terms will work in this context. Additionally, I believe that Proz only allows one term per question.
