A person who makes things by hand with skill, using tools and their own creativity rather than machines.
From Old English 'cræft' (strength, skill), combined with the agent suffix '-er.' Originally meant someone with practical strength and skill; evolved to emphasize creative manual work.
The word 'crafter' has experienced a renaissance—it went from being slightly old-fashioned to trendy again with the maker movement and DIY culture, proving that handmade skill cycles through being common, forgotten, then cool again.
