Cobbler (noun)
kob-ler
A person who mends shoes
First recorded in the 13th century. Apparently the word comes from two Middle English sources: cobelere, “one who mends shoes,” and cobeler, “wooden bowl or dish.” The latter is thought to be related to the fruit pie as well as the beverage containing alcohol, ice, and slices of fruit.
