embroiderer

/ɛmˈbɹɔɪdɝɝ/ noun

A person who embroiders

Word Origin Embroider comes from a Germanic root meaning 'to prick or stitch' — you can almost see the needle pricking the fabric. An embroiderer is one who does that stitching. The word is related to brad (a point, nail) and bristle, both from the same prickly idea.
