Morphology

garment + cutter

The meaning 'person who cuts fabric to make garments' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'garment' (an article of clothing) with 'cutter' (a worker who cuts cloth or similar). This is a straightforward noun–noun compound denoting an occupational role and follows common compounding patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.

Etymology

The name garment cutter shows a simple workshop picture: a cutter with big scissors cutting cloth into pieces for a garment. So, it means 'a person who cuts fabric to make clothes'.
