Post subject: What is a 'liasor'? |
|
|
I can find the word on the internet,
but cannot find it in every dictionaries that I can reach.
I think it's a kind of job title.
Thank you. |

Somebody who liaises? If the word exists, it's spelled "liaisor".
See "liaison".

I've just been watching "Masterchef Goes Large" (riveting stuff, I find,
far better that the previous incarnation with Loyd Grossman and poncey
dinner party menus) so I'm thinking of the thickening meaning of liaison
so a liaisor might also be a thickener. Not that that's a job title, of
course (although when I confuse my dimmer students...).

Putting parts of questions in your subject header is not a bad thing,
but failing to put them into the text of your post is. People who have
been around newsgroups for more than 10 minutes know that the
relationship between subject headers and the actual content of messages
is usually tenuous at best.
I would guess that it (from the subject line: 'liasor') is a bastard
formation from
[COD11]
liaison
· n.
1 communication or cooperation between people or organizations.
2 a sexual relationship, especially one that is secret.
3 the binding or thickening agent of a sauce.
4 /Phonetics/ the sounding of a consonant that is normally silent at the
end of a word, because the next word begins with a vowel.
– ORIGIN C17 (as a cookery term): from Fr., from lier ‘to bind’.
which gave rise to the verb
[COD11]
liaise /lI"eIz/
· v.
1 cooperate on a matter of mutual concern.
2 (liaise between) act as a link to assist communication between.
– ORIGIN 1920s (orig. military sl.): back-form. from liaison.
This suggests that a 'liasor' ('liaisor' ?) would be someone who 'liaises.'
'Liaison' first became a word for me in 1961 when my fried Leah Rae
Miron failed to spell it in the Texas qualifying round of the National
Spelling Bee. Your imagination may provide an approximation of a native
Texan pronunciation of this word. Or not. |

Google finds only 48 hits for "liasor", and a lot of those seem to be
proper names. It's most likely a misspelling of "liaison".

In the ICU I attended, each patient had full-time nursing treatment. |
Back on the ward, the same treatment would be called 'being
specialled'. Nurses would be allocated such that there was always one
in the room, 24/7. As you can imagine, with the general shortage of
trained nurses, people were specialled for the shortest time possible.
