From 'bustle' plus agent suffix '-er,' forming a word for one who bustles; emerged in English from the 16th century onward to describe active, busy people.

Kelly Says

The word 'bustler' is a reminder that English loves agent nouns—we add '-er' to almost any verb and suddenly have a person-label, though some combinations stick better in the cultural memory than others.
