A "wainwright" is an old occupation word for someone who builds or repairs wagons and carts - a wagon-maker. This job doesn't really exist anymore in most places, since we don't use horse-drawn wagons for daily transport, so today you'll mostly meet this word in history books, old stories, or as a surname (a family name that came from an ancestor's job, just like "Smith" came from ).
造馬車的工匠（現多見於歷史書或作為姓氏）
組成"Wain" (an old word for a wagon or cart) + "wright" (an old word meaning "a maker," also seen in "playwright," a play-maker) - so, "a wagon-maker."
