The answer
LINER
What liner means
A large ship designed for carrying passengers on regular long-distance routes, or a thin protective layer inserted inside something like a container or garment.
Where the word comes from
From the noun "line" plus the agent suffix "-er." Line comes from Old French "ligne," derived from Latin "linea," meaning a thread or string. The suffix "-er" denotes something or someone that performs an action or is associated with a particular thing. A liner is thus originally a ship that travels regular lines or routes, later extending to other vessels and eventually aircraft following set paths.
