Gladier

/ˈɡleɪ.dʒər/ noun

Definition

One who tends or works in a glade; archaic term for someone associated with clearings or open woodland spaces.

Etymology

From 'glade' plus '-er' agent suffix; a constructed occupational term that may be archaic or dialectal.

Kelly Says

Occupational '-er' words (baker, farmer, gardener) show how English creates jobs from nouns—'gladier' would describe someone whose work centered on maintaining or living in forest glades.
