For people who love this sort of thing, there are two dictionaries, (which I have) that you will enjoy.
James Orchard Halliwell's 'Dictionary of Archaic Words,' Bracken Books, London, and
Josefa Heifetz Byrne's 'Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure, and Preposterous Words,' Granada Publishing, England.

I'd consider anyone who had come across 10% of the words in either of these books to be astonishingly broadly educated. Particularly the Archaic one, which starts with 19 uses of 'A' and goes on to 'zwodder,' before embarking on a letter no longer in use.

GuestQ, this 960-page tome gives Tirewoman as a milliner, as I said, but Tireman as a seller of clothes, and Tire as clothing, (as in attire) so it is easy to see how the word could have more than one meaning, depending on usage.
