I didn't wonder about it, because I thought I knew what it meant (expert
or specialist), but you are right, it isn't in the English dictionaries.

However, I found this on the Net (at www.thefoodmaven.com): "Maven is a
Yiddish word that means connoisseur; in other words, a person who can
discern quality."

Obviously, we need a Yiddish dictionary, to follow this group :-)
