a person whose job is cutting up and selling meat in a shop or killing animals for this purpose
I bought some chicken from the butcher's.
The skilled butcher expertly carved the prime cut of beef, showcasing years of experience as he prepared the meat with precision for the display in the butcher shop.
Despite being a vegetarian for most of her life, she took a part-time job at the local butcher to better understand the meat industry and advocate for sustainable and humane practices.
As the neighborhood butcher, he not only provided top-quality meats but also offered personalized cooking tips and recommendations to customers, creating a sense of trust and community around his shop.
