Smooth, polished, or skillfully made; having a smooth or refined surface (archaic or technical).
From Latin 'affaber' meaning 'skillfully made,' derived from 'ad' (to) + 'faber' (maker or craftsman), suggesting something made with craft and skill.
This rare word comes from Latin 'faber' (craftsman)—so something affabrous is literally something a skilled faber would make. It's a lost word for what we'd now call 'craftsmanship.'
