A person whose job is to prepare leather by treating and finishing it, or someone who makes or sells curry.
From Middle English 'corier' or 'currier,' related to 'cordwainer' (shoemaker). For leather-workers, the term comes from the process of 'currying' or dressing leather. For food, it comes from 'curry.'
The 'currier' who works with leather has a different job than the one who makes curry, but both words trace back to 'curry'—one meaning to treat or prepare something (leather), the other a food preparation.
