the.com/mariner
Someone who trusts the sea more than solid ground, and the ocean rarely says thanks.
means A person who sails or navigates the sea as their work or life, especially a sailor of some skill and experience.
from From Old French 'marinier,' built on Latin 'mare' meaning sea — the same root that gives us 'marine' and 'maritime.' At its heart it's just 'sea' plus a suffix for 'one who does,' so a mariner is literally 'a sea person,' no metaphor required.
