I wish we could have etymologies to help us remember really weird looking words like uaireadór! I'm going to have to remember it as a toreador running around with a watch on.

[galaxyrocker]

It's uaire (time/hour) and adóir, a suffix meaning "person/thing that does a thing."

[scilling]

As galaxyrocker suggested, think of uaireadóir as “hour-ator”.

[iungermanj]

Doofenschmirtz would love this word!

[scilling]

Luckily for me, search engines can point to the definition of a Doofenshmirtz. ;*)

[MaryLea11]

Great answer! Thank you!

can uaireadóir be wristwatch?

[deactivated user]

If it's important to specify that it's a "wristwatch" rather than just a "watch", then the Irish is "uaireadóir rosta"

[teaclud]

just out of curiosity I looked up Watcher or spectator thinking it would be a derivative, it is breathnóir
