nounEtymology booth + -er

A performer who operates from a booth.
- They parade in their theatrical attire, dance quadrilles and hornpipes, fight with broadswords, and make speeches on the external platform of their booth. Histrionic art is seen to little advantage under these conditions, although it should be said that many notable players have commenced the study of their profession among the "boothers."1882, Dutton Cook, A Book of the Play, page 71:
