Someone who wavers or hesitates, or historically, someone who rings bells in waves or patterns.
Compound of 'bell' plus 'waver,' where 'waver' comes from Middle English and means to fluctuate or move unsteadily.
This word captures a beautiful linguistic coincidence—a bellwaver sounds like it should describe someone who rings bells uncertainly, creating a perfect metaphor for vacillating leaders.
