A person employed to receive and give out money, typically in a shop, bank, or business; someone who manages cash transactions.
From 'cash' (Portuguese origin via trade) plus the agent suffix '-er.' The term became standardized in English during the 19th century as retail and banking modernized.
Casher is curiously rare in American English, where 'cashier' dominates—but British English preferred 'casher' in some regions, showing how the same job got different names in different English-speaking countries.
Casher can imply the role-holder; when paired with gendered modifiers historically defaulted to female assumption in retail, reflecting occupation gender stereotyping.
Use neutrally; 'casher' itself is acceptable but ensure context doesn't reinforce gendered assumptions about retail workers.
