Bellowsmaker

/ˈbɛloʊzmeɪkər/ noun

Definition

A craftsman or artisan who makes bellows.

Etymology

Compound noun: 'bellows' plus 'maker,' from Old English 'macian.' Craftspeople with specialized trades often had descriptive names.

Kelly Says

In medieval guild systems, bellowsmakers were considered skilled craftspeople—they had to understand leather-working, air-tightness, and mechanical principles, so they ranked higher than general laborers.
