Why this word is great
CHARCUTIER — [Noun] A French or French-style butcher specializing in prepared and cured meats, especially pork products. From French charcutier, from Middle French chaircuitier, from chair ("flesh, meat") + cuite ("cooked"), literally "seller or maker of cooked meat." Unlike a boucher, who deals in raw, elemental cuts, or a delicatessen, a general purveyor of prepared foods, the charcutier is the specific alchemist who transforms flesh into enduring provision. His craft is the precise geometry of a pâté en croûte when sliced, the deep mahogany sheen of a saucisson sec hanging like a cured chime, and the rich, unctuous give of a rillette—a quiet testament to wresting permanence from the perishable.
