Douanier

/duːɑːˈnje/ noun

Definition

A customs officer or customs agent, especially in French-speaking regions.

Etymology

From French 'douanier,' derived from 'douane' plus the agent suffix '-ier' (similar to English '-er' or '-ist'), meaning one who works with customs.

Kelly Says

The term 'douanier' is so specific to French-speaking regions that it rarely appears in English texts, but it became famous through Henri Rousseau, the French artist who was a 'douanier' (customs officer) and is sometimes called 'Le Douanier Rousseau'—his day job became part of his artistic identity.
