Nor'Wester: A shortened version of "North-Wester" (several variants); historically, having to do with a North West Company (NWC) agent, wintering partner, employee or servant; a trader or "engagé" who winters in the hinterland; or a veteran of these experiences. The noun can also be used adjectively to refer to the NWC and its employees. "Nor'Wester" may have to do with a native or resident of the Northwest Territories, usually non-Indian, but in the literature of the fur trade the term is usually associated with the NWC and its members. 5, record 1, English, - of%20the%20People%20of%20the%20North
