Haberdasher
I really wanted to go with holdfast today, in honor of last night's Game of Thrones episode, but after researching it this morning, Martin apparently made that word up, at least in the context of it being some kind of small medieval fort or fortification.
So instead, you get haberdasher. It's on the mind because my sister is getting married this summer.
