Maven
Apache build tool
A maven is someone with special knowledge or expertise in a particular field—an expert or connoisseur.
The word carries a sense of insider authority: a food maven knows the best restaurants, a tech maven understands the latest gadgets.
She's a maven of vintage fashion.
The term entered English from Yiddish, where it means one who understands.
