Stalwart means strong, dependable, or loyal. Nothing in the definition of stalwart implies that the stalwart is a strong, dependable, or loyal worker. | |

See these links for example, which describe retiring professors, caretakers and mechanics. sun.ac.za/english/Lists/news/DispForm.aspx?ID=1391 wnsc.ac.uk/2014/09/college-stalwart-retires-after-24-years vertumotors.com/news/… | |
