Meaning of "washerman" in English

A "washerman" refers to a person, often a professional, who washes clothes and linens for a living. Traditionally, washermen play a significant role in communities where access to personal laundry facilities is limited. This term is somewhat archaic in modern English usage, as washing machines and other technologies have largely replaced manual laundry services in many parts of the world. However, in certain rural or traditionally domestic settings, washermen remain essential for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. The role often involves manual labor, requiring skills in washing, drying, and ironing garments.
