Journeyman

/ˈdʒɜːr.nē.mən/noun
ELI5 mode

A journeyman is a skilled worker who has completed an apprenticeship and can perform their trade independently, typically earning wages by the day rather than owning a business. In modern usage, it often implies someone who is reliable and experienced but not at the top of their field, such as a professional athlete who bounces between teams without achieving superstar status.
