Hackneyer

/ˈhæk.nid.ər/ noun

Definition

One who hackney; a person who hires out hackney horses or drives a hack (an older or less common term).

Etymology

From 'hackney' (to hire out a horse) + '-er' (agent suffix). This occupational term paralleled 'hackman' but was less commonly used in English.

Kelly Says

This is basically an alternative name for a taxi driver or horse-for-hire operator from the 18th-19th centuries, showing how English had multiple words competing for the same job.
