fuller
fuller A fuller was engaged in the unattractive, evil-smelling trade of cleaning and bleaching clothes in large vats; he trod down articles with his feet. At the Transfiguration, Mark (9: 3) records that the whiteness of ' garments was beyond what any fuller (AV, NRSV marg.; ‘bleacher’, REB, NJB) could make.
