- 1迎賓員、門口招呼客人的人
A greeter is someone who says hello to people as they come in, and does it as a job or a set role. You meet greeters at the door of a shop, a hotel, a restaurant, a conference, or a church. The work is to make the first moment easy: a smile, “welcome,” sometimes a basket or a map, sometimes just standing there so nobody feels they have walked into an empty space. It is greet + -er: the person who greets. The word is ordinary and a little American-sounding in the shop-door sense; British English may just say someone on the door, a receptionist, or a host. It is not a grand title. Though actually it is not the same as a guard: a greeter’s job is welcome, not stopping people.
組成greet (say hello to) + -er (the person who does it). From Middle English greter / gretter.
