A person who builds or manufactures carts and cart-related equipment.
From cart (Old Norse kartr) + maker (Old English macian, to make). This compound noun describes a skilled craftsperson, similar to other maker compounds like clockmaker or toolmaker.
Cartmakers were highly skilled craftspeople who needed to understand wood properties, joinery, wheel-making, and structural engineering—building a cart that wouldn't collapse under heavy loads required serious expertise and was almost as complex as building a car!
