stagern.

Brit.

/ˈsteɪdʒə/, U.S.

/ˈsteɪdʒər/

Etymology: < stage n. + -er suffix¹. It is not wholly impossible that in the expression old stager (sense 1 below) the word may be < Old French estagier an inhabitant, resident ( < estage stage n.), or medieval Latin stagiārius (see stagiary n.¹) which is used in English monastic records (e.g. Cust. St. Augustine's, Canterbury, Henry Bradshaw Soc. Publ. XXIII) for an aged monk who was lodged permanently in the infirmary. Derivation < stage n. is, however, more probable, but the precise notion seems difficult to determine. The usual explanation that the theatrical stage is alluded to (‘one who has been long on the stage of life’) finds no support in the 16th- and 17th-century examples; the primary sense may be that indicated in the definition of sense 2, but this is supported only by a single quotation.

a. old stager: a person who has become skilled or qualified by long experience; one who has been long employed in an office, a profession, course of life, etc.; a veteran, an old hand. Also occasionally of animals.
