baker
This term functions as both a designation for a skilled professional and a metonym for the physical shop where they work. When referring to the person, it carries a connotation of craftsmanship and early-morning labor, often evoking a sense of community and traditional trade.
In the context of the establishment, it is used similarly to pharmacy or butchery, where the name of the practitioner defines the place of business. This dual usage is common in English for traditional artisanal trades.
