granjero

/ɡɾanˈxeɾo/ · B1 · noun · m

farmer

granjero — farmer

👨‍🌾🌾 granjero = granja (farm) + -ero (the one who works it), like farm-er

Granja (farm) comes from Latin granum, grain, the same root as English granary and grain. The suffix -ero marks a person's trade, as in zapatero (shoemaker), so the granjero is the one who works the grain farm.
