A person who is a gadge; a wandering tinker, peddler, or member of a traveling community.
From gadge with the common agent suffix -er, forming a noun for someone who performs the action or belongs to that category. Used in Irish and Scottish English to describe itinerant workers and traders.
The suffix -er transformed 'gadge' into 'gadger' to mean the person, showing how languages naturally create occupational terms—think of how baker, tinker, and gadger all follow this same ancient pattern of naming people by what they do.
