A person or device that furls something, especially someone who rolls up sails on a ship.
From 'furl' plus the agent suffix '-er,' meaning 'one who does the action.' Emerged in nautical contexts when specialized crew members were named for their specific tasks.
On old sailing ships, being a 'furler' was a specialized job—you had to be fast, strong, and fearless working high above the deck in dangerous conditions, so it was actually a position of respect!
