Etymology

cabinet +‎ maker

Noun

cabinetmaker (plural cabinetmakers)

1. A skilled woodworker who makes high-quality wooden cabinets and furniture.
   • 1886, Henry James, The Princess Casamassima, London: Macmillan and Co.:

     He waited and waited, in the faith that Schinkel was dealing with them in his slow, categorical Teutonic way, and only objurgated the cabinetmaker for having in the first place paltered with his sacred trust. Why hadn't he come straight to him—whatever the mysterious document was—instead of talking it over with French featherheads?
