A water carrier or seller, especially someone who historically delivered water to households before modern plumbing.
From Spanish 'agua' (water) plus -dor (one who does), describing a common occupation in pre-industrial Spanish and Latin American cities.
Aguadores were essential workers in cities like Madrid and Mexico City—paintings by Goya and other artists immortalized them carrying water through streets, representing a now-vanished profession that only disappeared with modern pipes and pumps.
Spanish occupational term specifically masculine (aguador = water carrier, male). Feminine form 'aguadora' exists but was rarely used historically, reflecting gendered labor divisions where water-carrying was coded as men's work.
Use 'aguador/aguadora' or 'persona que acarrea agua' (water-carrying person) to include all genders.
["acarreador/a de agua","persona que acarrea agua"]
