Etymology of WAITRESS

The word "waitress" originated in the late 17th century in England. It is a combination of two words: "wait" and "ress".

The term "wait" initially meant "to watch" or "to be awake" and later evolved to refer to being attentive or serving someone. "Ress" is a suffix commonly used at the time to indicate the feminine form of a noun. Thus, "waitress" was formed to describe a female attendant or servant who waits on or serves customers in a restaurant or similar establishment.
