Waitron/Noun/Wait-ron

The word waitron is a gender-neutral alternative for waiter or waitress. Though the term gained some traction upon its appearance in the 1980s, it was quickly replaced with the more common gender neutral term, “server.” 

Etymology

 The word waitron originated in the 1980s to provide a gender-neutral representation of a waiter and waitress. “Ẅait” comes from the words waiter or waitress, identifying a waitperson by gender, and “tron” typically refers to a robotic, machine-like impersonality, but in this case, it is used to show a lack of gender, and otherwise represent neutrality.
