Etymology: A wiresmith is simply a worker who makes things from wire, a compound of "wire" and "smith", the old word for a craftsman who works metal. The pairing follows the same pattern as "goldsmith" or "blacksmith", with the material named first and the maker second. Because "smith" once covered any metalworker, the word names a trade defined entirely by its raw material.

Synonyms: metalworker, craftsman
