n. a person who makes, repairs, or sells jewelry
The word "jeweler" derives from the Old French "jouel" (modern "joyau"), meaning "jewel," combined with the agentive suffix "-er," which denotes a person associated with an action or object. The root "jewel" traces back to Latin "jocale," meaning "plaything" or "ornament," reflecting how precious stones were historically valued for adornment. Over time, the term evolved to specifically refer to a craftsman or merchant dealing in jewelry.
