a six-year job title earned by convincing strangers you understand their problems
means A member of a senate — a legislative body — typically elected to help make a country's or state's laws.
from From Latin senator, 'an old man,' rooted in senex, 'old.' Rome's senate was literally a council of elders — graybeards trusted with wisdom — so the word carries the assumption, charitable or not, that age and authority travel together. The same senex gives us 'senile' and 'senior,' two relatives that don't always sit comfortably at the same table.
