A skilled craftsperson who builds, repairs, or makes parts for carriages.
Carriage + smith (an artisan or metal-worker, from Old English 'smið'). Smith was historically appended to tools or goods to indicate the maker (blacksmith, goldsmith, etc.).
Carriagesmiths were as respected as auto mechanics are today—they needed knowledge of woodworking, metalwork, engineering, and design, and their work determined whether a carriage would survive rough 18th-century roads.
