Wader

/ˈweɪdə(r)//ˈweɪdər/

"Wader" comes from the Old English word "wædere," meaning "one who wades." This word itself is derived from the verb "wædan," meaning "to wade." The term "wade" referred to walking through shallow water, which is precisely what these birds do in their wetland habitats. Therefore, the word "wader" effectively describes the birds' characteristic behavior of walking through water in search of food.
