• Frieze-maker — A craftsman who makes or sells aba (coarse woolen cloth) or garments made from aba. In the context of historical hygiene and ethnomedicine, the guilds of abageri regulated the quality and density of the fabric, ensuring the production of traditional garments that served as vital thermal barriers against illnesses caused by exposure to cold and dampness.
• Frieze-making (attr.) — Pertaining to abageri (frieze-makers) or their trade; characteristic of coarse cloth manufacturing.

• Frieze-making workshop — The workshop, shop, or trade of an abager (frieze-maker), where aba and thick woolen clothing were manufactured, processed, or sold. Historically and from a hygiene perspective, abagerii represented important urban centers for providing thermal protective clothing in past centuries, indirectly contributing to public health during cold seasons.
• Traditional clothier — A historical regional term used as a synonym for abager; a person who manufactured, tailored, or sold clothes made of aba.
