Patient
Does anyone else find it ironic that the same word that means:
Bearing or enduring pain, difficulty, provocation, or annoyance with calmness.
and
Capable of calmly awaiting an outcome or result; not hasty or impulsive.
also is the same word meaning
One who receives medical attention, care, or treatment.
?
Have people always had to wait a long time at doctor’s offices? Is calling the customers patients just a way of calming them down? Maybe we should refer to rioters and insurgents as “peacefuls”. I think that might help.
