Beltir

/ˈbɛltɪr/ noun

Definition

An archaic or rare term, possibly referring to someone who makes, wears, or works with belts in some capacity.

Etymology

From 'belt' plus the agent suffix '-er,' a standard way in English to form occupational or active nouns. This term appears to be largely obsolete.

Kelly Says

Beltir would be to belts what a miller is to mills—someone professionally involved with them. It's another example of how English once had a word for nearly every job imaginable, but most have vanished!
