Compound word from 'clog' plus 'maker' (from 'make'). These compound occupational names (shoemaker, clockmaker, mapmaker) follow a pattern established in Middle English.

Kelly Says

Clogmakers were highly respected craftspeople in industrial Britain—the clog industry employed thousands, and some families operated clogmaking businesses for generations, creating a distinct subculture with its own traditions and social hierarchy!
