ROWER
What rower means
A person who propels a boat forward by pulling oars through the water, either as a sport or occupation.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "rōwere," meaning one who rows, built from "rōwan" (to row) plus the agent suffix "-ere" (one who does). The verb "row" itself comes from Old Norse "róa," related to Proto-Germanic "*rōaną," ultimately tracing to an Indo-European root meaning to turn or spin, also the source of "rudder."
