An archaic term for a shoemaker or cobbler; someone who makes or repairs shoes.
From Old French 'corveiseor' or similar, related to 'cordovan' leather and shoemaking trades. The term is obsolete in modern English, replaced by 'shoemaker' or 'cobbler.'
Medieval shoemakers had such specialized vocabulary that we've lost most of their trade terms—'corviser' survives mainly in historical documents and surnames (like 'Corviser' as a family name).
