What does TINNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalBritish
A person who works in a tin mine, digging or processing tin ore.
Cornwall in south-west England is especially associated with the word tinner, where generations of tinners worked the region's rich tin deposits and formed their own local customs and courts. The same word has also been used for a tinsmith, someone who makes or repairs articles of tinware, though the mining sense is the more common one in historical writing. Cornish tin mining largely ended in the twentieth century, so tinner now appears mostly in historical contexts.
