Gabler

/ˈɡeɪblər/ noun

Definition

A person who builds or works with gables; a builder or carpenter specializing in gable construction or roof framing.

Etymology

From gable + -er suffix (agent noun suffix). The -er suffix creates agent nouns meaning 'one who does' or 'one who works with' the base word.

Kelly Says

Gabler is an almost-forgotten occupational word—like cobbler or thatcher, it represents the hyper-specialization of medieval and Renaissance trades where craftspeople identified themselves by specific architectural expertise.
