A currier is a specialist in the leather processing industry.

PlanetMath: currying (146 words)
Currying is the technique of emulating multiple-parametered functions with higher-order functions.
The term currying is derived from the name of Haskell Curry, a 20th century logician.

[Python-Dev] PEP 309, function currying (452 words)
Currying is a way of transforming a function so that instead of accepting all its arguments at once it accepts just the first, returning a function which accepts just the second, returning a function which accepts just the third, and so on.
Then currying is the function transformer C such that - when f is a function of no arguments, C(f) = f(); - when f is a function of at least one argument, C(f) is the 1-argument function taking y1 to C(f[y1]).
Note that currying a no-argument function yields not a function but a constant; currying a 1-argument function yields the same function; currying any function with at least one argument yields a function that takes exactly one argument.
