Etymology
Tradeswoman comes from trade ('skilled work' or 'a job that needs skill') and woman ('adult female'). It is like the word tradesman but female, so picture a woman doing carpentry, electrical work, or other hands-on jobs. So, a tradeswoman is a woman who works in a skilled or manual occupation.
