braciator

Braciator is medieval Latin for a brewer, a man who made beer or ale; the word appears with several spellings.

Braciator is not a classical word. It is medieval Latin for a brewer, recorded in England from the 1100s, and the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources gives spellings such as braceator and brasiator.

Because spelling varied, treat braciator, braceator and similar forms as one word when you search a transcription or an index.
