wireworker

/wˈaɪɚwɜkɚ/ noun

One who manufactures articles from wire.

Word Origin A compound of wire (from Proto-Germanic *wira- 'wire,' from PIE *wei- 'to twist, plait') and worker (from wyrcan 'to work'). So a wireworker literally twists and shapes metal threads. The root *wei- also gives us withe (a flexible twig) and vine — all about twisting. The work root from *werg- 'to do' gives us work, wrought, and energy.
