This noun designates a vineyard worker who cultivates and prunes grapevines. In Luke 13:7, the owner tells the 'vinedresser' to cut down the barren fig tree. Classical Greek used this compound for professional vineyard workers. The multilingual evidence (Spanish 'viñador', French 'vigneron') identifies this agricultural specialist. Jesus' parable features the vinedresser as intercessor, pleading for another year's care before judgment. The word's occupational precision contributes to the parable's realism while typologically representing Christ's intercession for Israel's final opportunity.
