Which one is correct?
'waiting time'
'wait time'
'a wait time'
'wait times'
Are they all correct? I saw all of them are the same meaning in a dictionary.
I want to know if it is true and if not, how they are different.
Thank you.

Se my response to your earlier question. IN certain contexts, these are all acceptable. However, standing by themselves, aside from possibly "a wait time", these have no meaning other than what the words mean at face value.
