Where this word comes from
From seil (“sail”) + -maker (“craftsperson-forming suffix”), literally “sail-maker”. The second element -maker (“craftsperson-forming suffix”) is from Old Norse -makari and Middle Low German -maker. The latter is based on maken (“to make, do”), ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *makōn (“to make suitable; prepare; make”), with an occupational suffix from Proto-Germanic *-ārijaz (“occupational agent suffix”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk seglmakar, Danish sejlmager, Swedish segelmakare, Dutch zeilmaker, English sailmaker and Low German Seilmaker (“sailmaker”).
