What does HAYER mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A person who makes hay, cutting and drying grass for use as animal fodder.
A hayer is named for the task rather than for any tool or machine, so the word covers anyone doing the seasonal farm work of cutting, turning and drying grass into hay. It belongs to a small family of occupational nouns built directly from a verb plus -er, and it survives mainly in older farming vocabulary and word lists rather than everyday talk.
