A person or tool that brands livestock or items with a hot iron mark; someone who creates or manages brands.
From 'brand' (from Old English and Old Norse 'brand' meaning a burning or sword) plus the agent suffix '-er'.
Cowboys and ranchers have been 'branders' for centuries, but now the word is also used for marketing people—the hot iron left a visible mark just like modern logos do!
