@gannet@sunny.garden Huh, this makes me wonder about cutlery. I guess, a collection or assemblage of cutlers?

@Betty@fandom.ink That’s an entirely different kettle of words: > mid-14c., cutellerie, "the cutler's craft, art or trade of knife-making," from Old French coutelerie "cutlery, knife-making" (13c., Modern French coutellerie) "cutting utensils," also "knife-making," from coutel "knife," from Latin cultellus (see cutlass). Meaning "knives and cutting utensils collectively" is from 1836.
