One who wears or grows a beard; a bearded person (archaic or dialectal usage).
From Middle English 'berd' (beard) with the agent suffix '-er' (one who does or has something), creating a term for a person characterized by having a beard.
This word is like calling someone a 'tall-er' instead of a 'tall person'—it's grammatically valid but so awkward it mostly disappeared from use!
