Root Explanation

Waitron → The word is a blend of 'wait' (from Old English 'wacian', meaning to be awake or to watch) and the suffix '-ron' (a gender-neutral suffix used in some contexts). It refers to a person who serves food and drinks, typically in a restaurant, and is intended to be a gender-neutral term for a waiter or waitress.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'watching' or 'attending' to customers ('wait') and the '-ron' suffix makes it a neutral term. This helps you remember that a waitron is a person serving in a restaurant.
