A person, especially a man or boy, whose job is to tend a flock of geese.
Compound of 'goose' and 'herd' (from Old English 'heord'), an occupational term parallel to shepherd or cowherd, indicating someone who looks after geese.
Gooserherds were essential workers in medieval Europe—they'd drive flocks of hundreds of geese across long distances to markets or seasonal pastures, a skill that required as much expertise as any other form of herding!
