stager
This term is primarily used in British English and carries a connotation of seasoned reliability and endurance. It suggests a person who has survived the trials and tribulations of a specific profession or hobby, possessing a level of practical wisdom that only comes from long-term exposure to the field.
It is most frequently encountered in the phrase "old stager," which functions as a fixed expression. While "stager" on its own is technically the noun, using it without the modifier "old" is rare in contemporary usage. The tone is generally respectful, though in certain contexts, it can imply someone who is set in their ways or outdated.
