Etymology of SHOEMAKE

The word "shoemake" is not widely recognized or used as a distinct English word. However, "shoemake" appears to be a variant or an alternate spelling of "shoemaker" or "shoe-maker", which refers to a person who makes or repairs shoes.

The etymology of "shoemaker" traces back to Middle English. The word is derived from the combination of "shoe" (an Old English word) and "maker" (from Middle English "makere"). "Shoe" has its roots in Old English "sceōh", which can be traced further back to the Proto-Germanic word "*skeuhaz". "Maker" comes from Old English "macere" or "gemacere" which meant "one who makes". Over time, these words merged and evolved into "shoemaker".
