A person who deals in, manufactures, or sells drugs; a druggist or pharmacist.
From 'drug' + '-er' (agent noun suffix). Appears in historical texts as an alternative to 'druggist' or 'apothecary,' particularly in the 17th-19th centuries.
In old legal documents and court records, you'll find 'druggers' accused of selling poisons and mysterious compounds—a reminder that before the FDA, drug sellers were often viewed with deep suspicion!
