Glovers

/ˈɡlʌvərz/ noun

Definition

People who make, sell, or work with gloves; plural of glover (an alternate form of glovemaker).

Etymology

From 'glove' + '-er' (agent noun suffix) + '-s' (plural). 'Glover' is an older, still-used term for glovemakers.

Kelly Says

Shakespeare's time had glover guilds in London, and 'glover' was such a common profession that it appears in historical records showing which families were part of the trade—some surnames like 'Glover' come directly from these occupations!
