Etymology: From Italian gondoliere, through French gondolier. By surface analysis, gondola + -ier.

  1. A boatperson who propels a gondola, especially in Venice.

    “Not even the gondoliers can escape him. He impersonates people and then refuses to pay for the gondola ride, saying, "Rickety-tickety tack, tomorrow I'll pay you back!" He runs away laughing and clapping his hands.”
