tragematopolist
tragematopolist - n., a confectioner, a maker or seller of sweets.
This is listed as "obs. rare.," and the OED lists uses from 1656 to 1658. I'm guessing, given the age, that its formation from Greek roots is correct, though I only recognize the -polist part, being "seller" (as in monopolist, single/only seller).
