Someone who wears an apron, especially a tradesperson or craftsperson identified by their trade apron.
From 'apron' plus the agent suffix '-eer' (one who practices or specializes in something, as in 'auctioneer' or 'profiteer'). The suffix gives the word a somewhat archaic or occupational flavor.
This word captures the old idea that your apron defined your job—a blacksmith's leather apron, a baker's flour-dusted apron, or a carpenter's nail-filled apron told everyone exactly what you did for work!
