owlern.

Brit.

/ˈaʊlə/, U.S.

/ˈaʊlər/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: owl n., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < owl n. + -er suffix¹. Compare earlier owling n. 2.To prevent the exportation of wool it was made illegal by Act 14 Chas. II, c. 18 §8 to transport it in the night-time; and it is probable that it was in reference to the fact that the smugglers of wool carried on their work, like owls, under cover of night, that the terms owler and owling arose. (Any connection with northern forms of the word wool n. is made unlikely by the association of owling and owlers particularly with Kent and Sussex.)

Now historical.

A person engaged in the illegal exportation of wool or sheep from England. Also: a sailing vessel used for such an activity.
