farmworker

/ˈfɑɹmˌwɝkɝ/ noun

A person who works on a farm, especially a hired hand.

Word Origin Farm comes from Latin firmus 'firm, fixed' — originally a fixed payment, then the land itself. So a farmworker is one who works the fixed land. The root firmus also gives us firm, confirm (make firm), and affirm (to state firmly). Work is from Proto-Germanic werką, related to energy.

noun A person who works on a farm, especially a hired hand. countable
