WHAT DOES TRADESMAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tradesman

Tradesman

This article is about the "skilled manual worker" meaning of the term; for other uses, see Tradesperson. Carpenter at work with a brace in Tennessee, June 1942 A tradesman or tradesperson is a skilled manual worker in a particular trade or craft not in the liberal arts, "learned professions" or agriculture. Economically and socially, a tradesman's status is considered between a laborer and a professional, with a high degree of both practical and theoretical knowledge of his or her trade. In cultures where professional careers are highly prized, there can be a shortage of skilled manual workers, leading to lucrative niche markets in the trades. The training of a trade in European cultures has been a formal tradition for many centuries. A tradesman typically begins as an apprentice, working for and learning from a Master, and after a number of years is released from his or her master's service as a journeyman. After a journeyman has proven himself to his or her trade's guild, he or she may settle down as a master and work for themselves, eventually taking on their own apprentices. Since the 20th century, this process has been changed in many ways.
