A person who works with glass, particularly someone who installs, cuts, or fits glass into windows and other structures; a glassworker.
From 'glass' + '-er' (agent suffix meaning 'one who does or makes'). Related to the Old English glaes and ultimately from Latin glacies.
In medieval times, 'glassers' were prestigious workers because glass was expensive and rare—having a glass window was a status symbol that showed you had serious wealth!
Occupational term for glass maker/worker; historically male-dominated guild trade with formal exclusion of women.
Use 'glasser' as gender-neutral occupational term; specify credentials rather than assuming gender.
["glasser","glass worker","glass technician"]
Women worked as glass workers in various capacities (coloring, finishing) often uncredited; contemporary women in glass trades are reclaiming occupational status.
