A person who makes, sells, or is an expert in making chocolate and chocolate confections.
From French 'chocolatier,' derived from 'chocolat' (chocolate). The French occupational suffix '-ier' was adopted directly into English during the 19th century as chocolate-making became an art form.
The French elevated chocolate-making to such an art form that English speakers borrowed their word for a chocolate maker—we never invented our own term, accepting the French as the ultimate authority.
