A cook or chef who specializes in making forcemeat or preparing farced dishes; alternatively, an actor or performer in a farce.
French 'farceur,' from 'farcir' (to stuff) or 'farce' (a comedy play). The word has dual meanings reflecting both the culinary and theatrical origins of 'farce.'
The culinary and theatrical meanings show how the word 'farce' split into two completely different fields—medieval cooks stuffing meat and medieval actors performing comedies both needed their version of a 'farcer'!
