No, I haven’t been playing with a Scrabble board but these would be good words to use.  So was is or are a zigarius and a zythepsarist?    According to the book ‘A Dictionary of Old Trades, Titles and Occupations.’   By Colin Waters, a zigarius is a gypsy and a zythepasarist is a brewer.  Dictionaries, like this one, are really useful in explaining old trades etc. that we know by totally different names, today.
