Definition
A person who operates, maintains, or works on canals, such as a canal boat operator or canal maintenance worker.
Etymology
From canal plus the agent suffix -er, indicating someone who works with or operates canals. This occupational term emerged during the height of canal-building in the 18th-19th centuries.
Kelly Says
Canalers were a unique working class with their own culture and dialect—canal communities developed distinctive vocabularies and social systems separate from surrounding towns, creating a kind of floating subculture.
