glassmaker

/ˈɡɫæsˌmeɪkɝ/ noun

A person or company that makes glass or glass items.

Word Origin Glassmaker is a straightforward compound: glass + make + -er. But glass itself comes from Proto-Germanic glasam, related to the PIE root *ghel- 'to shine' — the same root that gives us glow, gold, and yellow. So a glassmaker is literally a maker of shiny stuff. The -maker part is from Proto-Germanic makōjaną, which also gives us matchmaker, shoemaker, and troublemaker.

noun A person or company that makes glass or glass items. countable

The skilled glassmaker carefully blew into the molten glass to create a beautiful vase.
