Etymology
The word tamer comes from the simple word tame, which itself comes from an old German word meaning 'gentle' or 'calm', and the -er part means 'one who'. So a tamer is 'one who' makes wild animals calm or trains them to behave, which is why it means a person who trains and controls animals.
