Joiner

/ˈdʒɔɪnər/ noun

Definition

A carpenter who makes wooden furniture and fittings, or someone who joins or connects things together.

Etymology

From 'join' (from Latin 'jungere,' to yoke together) + '-er' (one who does the action). The term has been used since medieval times for skilled woodworkers.

Kelly Says

Joiners are different from carpenters—while a carpenter builds the frame of a house, a joiner is the artist who creates the beautiful wooden doors, windows, and furniture inside it.
