A person who makes flags or manufactures flags as a profession or trade.
From 'flag' plus 'maker' (one who makes), combining two Old English elements: 'flag' (of Scandinavian origin, possibly from 'flak' meaning a flap) and 'maker' (from 'make'). The compound describes a craftsperson's occupation.
Before industrial manufacturing, flagmakers were specialized craftspeople in important coastal and trading cities—creating the flags that identified ships and nations required both artistic skill and knowledge of durable fabrics!
