le Fuller | |||||
"OE fullere OFr fouleor, foleur 'a fuller of cloth'. The raw cloth had to be fulled, i.e. scoured and thickened by beating it in water, a process known as walking because originally done by men trampling upon it in a trough. Hence Walker, by the side of Fuller and Tucker from OE tūcian, originally 'to torment', later 'to tuck', 'to full'." (Reaney & Wilson, p. 179 s.n. Fuller) "Occup. 'the fuller,' the cloth-bleacher or felter." (Bardsley, p. 303 s.n. Fuller) | |||||
