Considering that over 60% of English words have their roots in Latin in everyday usage--over 90% in sciences--I would say it makes perfect sense. Let's not discount French either.

So I found two definitions of caner

1. a person who works with cane. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/caner

or (my favorite one)

2. drug user or (literally) one who canes http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caner

I'm going with the first one and say caner maker

I'll wait to see what osiris has to say about this one

Why can't we discount French? Is this some sort of monopolistic thing, like Apple practices, where you can't discount French or you lose your right to carry it? Are you one of those Franco Phones or something? Is this whole forum just a cover for your efforts to support the independence of Quebec?

Wait...what was the context of your original comment? ... ... ... nevermind.

Holy shit I almost spit coffee.

As for chair caner, I'm only to find a vague reference one one website, and that's the name OF the website. It does not appear to be common enough to be a widely accepted collocation. Chair caner shall not pass.
