The word “currier” refers to a person who prepares animal hides for use, particularly by tanning them or treating them to make leather. This occupation involves the processing of raw hides to produce leather suitable for various applications, such as clothing, accessories, and upholstery. The term is derived from the old French word “courir,” which means to run or to process. In modern usage, the term is less common and is often associated with traditional leatherworking crafts.
