Hatcheller

/ˈhætʃələr/ noun

Definition

British spelling variant of hatcheler; a person who operates a hatchel in textile production.

Etymology

British variant of hatcheler, using double-l before -er, consistent with British spelling preferences for -el words.

Kelly Says

The double-l in British English wasn't random—it followed the pattern of doubling consonants in certain positions, which is why British people still spell 'travelling' with two l's today!
