Figure out the next word

As if we don't have enough word games already, here's another! You must try to figure out what the next word is from the clue provided. The next word will be derived from the last few letters of the previous one, eg: Say the previous word was "Telephone"; the clue is "Burdensome". The next word is "Onerous". Got it? So, the next word is -

ONEROUS

and the clue is: "Laborer"
