"M'uaireadóir agus mo chlog."

Translation: My watch and my clock.

[MaryLea11]

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!

[lkna]

Galaxyrocker rocks!

can "uaireadóir" also mean like "Ni ar m'uaireadóir" or is it just the jewlery kind of watch

[SatharnPHL]

"uaireadóir" is basically an "hour doer" - it's a time-piece.

"faire" (http://www.teanglann.ie/en/fgb/faire) is the word that you're looking for, a vigil, or a session on guard duty.

[Tormod18]

Are there a distinct difference between the two or may uaireadóir and clog be interchanged freely?

[SatharnPHL]

Dinneen's 1904 dictionary suggested an equivalence, but modern dictionaries are clear that uaireadóir is "watch" and clog is "clock".
