Archaic term for someone or something that is neat, skilful, or elegant; one who makes things neat or performs with finesse.
From Middle English 'feat' (neat, skillful, elegant) plus the agent suffix '-er' (one who does). 'Feat' likely comes from Old French 'fait' (made, done, accomplished).
A 'feater' would be someone skilled at making things elegant or executing tasks with finesse—the suffix '-er' turning a quality adjective into a person, like 'baker' or 'worker'!
