A person whose job is cutting wood, especially with a saw. It's an old-fashioned word — not many people use it as a job title today, since it comes from a time when cutting timber by hand was a common trade. You'll most often meet it now as a surname (like the character Tom Sawyer), which is exactly how job-related words often turn into family names.
鋸木工人(較古老的職業用詞,現多作姓氏)
組成saw + -yer (a person who does something), similar to how 'law' becomes 'lawyer.'
