People who make arrows, specifically those who attach feathers (called fletches) to arrow shafts to create finished arrows.
From 'fletch' (to attach feathers to arrows) via Old French 'fleche' (arrow), plus the '-er' suffix (meaning someone who does this work). The term dates back to medieval times when archery was essential to warfare and hunting.
Medieval archer guilds had strict standards—a master fletcher's reputation determined whether soldiers and hunters lived or died in combat or the hunt. Arrowheads might be crude, but the feathering had to be absolutely precise, making fletchers essential craftspeople.
