means A craftsperson who makes bows for stringed instruments — shaping wood, hair, and tension into the tool that actually draws the sound out of a violin, viola, cello, or bass.

from A plain compound of 'bow' (the curved stick strung with horsehair, from Old English 'boga,' meaning something bent) and 'maker.' The craft itself — called archeterie in French — came into its own name because bow-making split off from violin-making as its own specialized trade, most famously in 18th-century France, where makers worked out the now-standard bow shape and camber still used today.
