Bushmaker

/ˈbʊʃmeɪkər/ noun

Definition

A person who makes or creates bushes, or historically, someone who works with bushes or vegetation.

Etymology

From 'bush' + 'maker' (one who makes something). This is a rare or historical term demonstrating English's productive agent noun formation with '-maker' or '-worker.'

Kelly Says

Compound agent nouns with '-maker' (candlemaker, filmmaker, noisemaker) show how English builds occupational language productively—any verb can theoretically add '-maker' to create a profession, which is why new jobs like 'podcaster' or 'streamer' feel natural to English speakers.
