Usage notes

With regard to airlines, steward is usually distinguished from the more common and exclusively feminine stewardess in colloquial speech, while the gender-neutral flight attendant is usually preferred to both in formal contexts. For the sake of brevity, steward is sometimes treated as a gender-neutral term itself and applied to both male and female flight attendants.

Synonyms

• (medieval overseer): bailiff, provost
• (member of a flight crew): air steward, airline steward; see also flight attendant
• (union member): shop steward
• (person in charge of buildings, grounds, etc.): caretaker, custodian, keeper; groundskeeper (of estates)
