the one who catches every dropped ball while doctors take the bow
means a person trained to care for the sick, injured, or infirm, often working alongside doctors to monitor and tend patients.
from From Latin nutrire, 'to nourish, suckle, feed,' which gave Old French norrice and then Middle English nurse — originally a woman who breastfed and reared a child, a 'wet nurse.' The sense widened over centuries from feeding babies to tending the sick, but the root meaning lingers: a nurse is one who nourishes someone back to health. The same Latin stem feeds 'nutrition,' 'nutrient,' and 'nourish.'
