vietor

Vietor comes from vieo, a verb meaning to bend, plait or weave. Lewis and Short defines it as a basket maker, trunk maker or cooper, so the word covers makers of woven or bent goods as well as barrels and casks.

Lewis and Short lists the word under vitor and calls vietor the less correct spelling, so look under both forms in dictionaries and indexes. If another record gives the trade in the local language, it tells you which kind of maker your ancestor was.
