A craftsperson who makes frames, particularly wooden frames for pictures, doors, or windows.
From 'frame' + 'smith' (Old English 'smið' meaning metalworker or craftsperson). Originally 'smith' meant metalworker, but it extended to skilled craftspeople in general.
Words ending in '-smith' preserve an old English word for craftspeople—we still use it in 'blacksmith,' 'goldsmith,' and 'wordsmith'—it's a linguistic time capsule showing how important skilled trades were in medieval society.
