Brandsolder

/ˈbrændsəʊldər/ noun

Definition

Solder or a soldering tool used in metalworking, or a person who performs soldering work, especially with precious metals.

Etymology

From 'brand' (fire or heat) + 'solder' (from Old French 'soudure,' a metal joint). Describes the heating process required in soldering.

Kelly Says

A 'brandsolder' literally uses heat ('brand') to join metals, and this forgotten word reminds us that metalworkers had specialized vocabulary for what jewelers and craftspeople do.
