groom
Wedding altar man
A groom is a man on his wedding day or about to be married.
The word also means a person who cares for horses—brushing, feeding, and maintaining them.
To groom is to clean and tend to appearance: She groomed herself in the mirror, a well-groomed lawn.
Extended uses include preparing someone for a role: He was groomed for leadership.
More darkly, to groom is to cultivate a victim's trust for exploitation, especially a child for sexual abuse.
