Wright

“Wright” is a term that traditionally refers to a maker or craftsman, particularly in the context of specific trades. The word is derived from Old English “wyrcan,” meaning to work or to make. It is often used as a suffix in various occupations, indicating someone who creates or repairs something. For example, a “cartwright” is a maker of carts, a “shipwright” is a builder of ships, and a “wheelwright” is a craftsman who makes or repairs wheels.

In modern contexts, “Wright” is also recognized as a surname, most notably associated with figures such as Orville and Wilbur Wright, who are credited with inventing and building the first successful powered airplane.
