The answer
BAKER
What baker means
A person whose job is to make and bake bread, cakes, pastries, and other baked goods, typically in a bakery or commercial kitchen.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *bæcere*, meaning "one who bakes," derived from the verb *bacan* (to bake). This Old English root connects to Proto-Germanic *bakanan*, ultimately from the same Indo-European base that produced Latin *coquere* (to cook). The -er suffix simply marks the agent noun—the person who performs the action.
