one who ages something, or a vat or container used in the aging process of wine, cheese, or other products.
From 'age' (verb) plus '-er' suffix (one who does something). Related to Old French 'aage' and Latin 'aetas' (age/lifetime).
Winemakers and cheese-makers are technically 'agers'—they're not aging themselves but rather manipulating time itself by controlling temperature, humidity, and oxidation to create flavor complexity.
