What does PLYER mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
One who plies a trade steadily, or who travels a set route back and forth.
A plyer keeps steadily at the same line of work, the way a shopkeeper or craftsman returns to the same bench or stall day after day. Applied to a ferry or its master, the word points to a vessel making the same crossing again and again, tying it to the verb ply in its sense of a boat shuttling between two ports. It is an old agent noun built directly from ply, and modern English has mostly handed its job to more specific words such as trader, tradesman or ferryman.
