The person who makes sure your hands have exactly as much personality as the rest of you.
means A person who makes or sells gloves.
from Simply 'glove' plus the agent suffix '-er,' meaning 'one who makes or deals in.' Glove itself traces back to Old English 'glof,' a Germanic word whose deeper roots are uncertain. Like baker, farmer, and tanner, glover is a trade surname fossil — once a literal job title, now mostly a last name carrying the ghost of the workshop it came from.
