the human engine that built every cathedral, pyramid, and skyline without their name on the plaque
means A person who does physical work, often hard and unskilled, for wages.
from From Latin 'labor,' meaning toil, hardship, or exertion — the same root that gives us 'labour,' 'elaborate,' and 'collaborate.' It came into English through Old French 'laborer' (to work, to till the soil), and by the late Middle Ages 'laborer' named the person who did the heavy lifting. Fittingly, 'labor' in Latin carried a whiff of suffering as well as work — the word always knew the cost of the building.
