One who hauls or pulls; a person who drags something with force.
From 'hale' (to haul), from Old Norse 'hala,' plus the agent suffix '-er,' forming a noun for someone who performs the action of hauling.
A 'haler' is basically an ancient 'hauler,' and this word reminds us that 'hale' as a verb (to haul someone to court) and 'hale' as an adjective (healthy) are actually different roots that just happen to look identical in modern English!
